We brought the heat with these spicy shotgun shells. You got your manicotti shell stuffed with hot sausage, jalapenos and habanero peppers and glazed with a ghost pepper BBQ sauce. Think you can handle it?
If you haven’t seen or heard of smoked shotgun shells, they are basically bacon wrapped manicotti shells stuffed with whatever fillings you want. We have cooked everything from bacon cheeseburger shotgun shells to your regular ol’ smoked shotgun shells and everything in between but the spicy shotgun shells are one of my favorites.
If you can handle the spice we highly recommend you give this spicy shotgun shell recipe a try!
