                            <li>Start the Traeger on smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (about 5 minutes). Preheat to high heat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.</li>
                                    <li>Rinse, and season the shrimp with the Salmon Shake.</li>
                                    <li>Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil, and cook on the Traeger for about 5 minutes per side or until the shrimp is opaque. Remove the shrimp, and let cool.</li>
                                    <li>Turn the grill down to 350°. Meanwhile, get those poppers going.</li>
                                    <li>Cut the jalapenos in half, and remove the stems and seeds.</li>
                                    <li>Chop the shrimp and mix together the softened cream cheese, chopped shrimp, 1/2 teaspoon of the Salmon Shake, and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.</li>
                                    <li>Load a generous amount of the filling in each pepper half. Top with a sprinkle of coconut.</li>
                                    <li>Wrap each stuffed pepper with a slice of bacon, and place on a foil-covered baking sheet.</li>
                                    <li>Cook the peppers on the grill for about 45 minutes or until the bacon fat has rendered and the cream cheese is golden. Enjoy.</li>
