Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large garlic cloves (minced)
1 small shallot (minced)
1 Tablespoon butter
35 Ritz crackers (1 sleeve, crushed into small crumbs)
4 Tablespoons salted butter (melted)
¼ cup sherry wine
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound jumbo shrimp (U-12 size, frozen or fresh (if frozen, defrost them))
Lemon wedges
Chopped fresh parsley
Melted butter for dipping

Steps:

  • Move oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 375°Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray it with noncook cooking spray.
  • In a small skillet or pan add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add in the shallot and saute, stirring frequently, until softened and the edges begin to turn light brown, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
  • In a medium bowl, add the shallot, crushed Ritz crackers, melted butter, sherry wine, and pepper. Stir until combined.
  • Remove the shell, leaving the tail section intact. Hold the shrimp in your hand with the inside of the curve facing down. Make a shallow cut with a paring knife down the back of the shrimp. Use the tip of the knife or a toothpick to remove the vein.
  • Then, flip the shrimp, so the inside of the curve is facing up. Run the paring knife along the length of the inside, cutting about ½-inch into the flesh, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH! You should now be able to flatten the shrimp with the tail pointing up. Place the shrimp, with this new cut side facing up, on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • Use a 1-Tablespoon scoop to scoop the stuffing into a mound on the flat part of the shrimp. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the stuffing is golden brown.
  • Serve with lemon wedges, a sprinkle of paprika, and melted butter for dipping, YUM!

BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP WITH RITZ CRACKERS®



Baked Stuffed Shrimp with Ritz Crackers® image

My late mother created this recipe over thirty years ago. My grandparents, my father, and myself have enjoyed these baked stuffed shrimp every other Friday for many years. It's a tradition - we eat baked stuffed shrimp for dinner and then play cards! (We've been leaving out the scallops lately due to the high price, and we don't even miss them.) We serve the shrimp with a nice garden salad and rice pilaf or baked potato.

BAKED & DELICIOUS STUFFED SHRIMP



Baked & Delicious Stuffed Shrimp image

This is amazing, moist, delicious and a family favorite. We have it every year for Christmas dinner. Each of us eat a half dozen or more, so make lots! I have had a few questions about this recipe - so I have updated it! My mother suggests shrimp that comes 16 to 20 per pound. It really is delicious and hopefully the changes I made will improve it for everyone!

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon tarragon

  • Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.

Add any overflow that won't fit into the top pieces. Slice 4 remaining shrimp in half lengthwise and arrange 2 pieces on top of each filled potato.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, filling is heated through, and top is lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

CAPE COD BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP



Cape Cod Baked Stuffed Shrimp image

Growing up in the Boston area, a Saturday night favorite at restaurants was Baked Stuffed Shrimp. This dish is light and delicious and the trick is to bake the shrimp in a glass pie dish, not on a dark cookie sheet -they come out much more juicy. Also, I added a little Marsala for sweetness - but I guess Sherry would do. Be sure to use only Ritz brand crackers and not the low fat variety or the taste will be greatly compromised.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 33m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs jumbo shrimp, cleaned and deveined, tails left on
1 tablespoon butter
1 stalk celery, diced fine
1/2 cup butter, melted
60 Ritz crackers, crushed, do not substitute
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons marsala wine or 2 tablespoons chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
paprika (to garnish)
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoons butter and saute the celery and garlic for 3-4 minutes on low heat. Do not brown.
  • Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Crush the crackers with your hands in a plastic bag until just coarse and add to the bowl with the celery.
  • Stir in the melted butter, lemon juice, parsley, wine or chicken broth and ground pepper.
  • The mixture should be barely wet, enough to hold together. But if too wet add more Ritz crackers, or if too dry add a little more broth.
  • Cut almost through the center of each shrimp and flatten out cut side up, pointing the tail section up.
  • Spray a glass pie dish with butter spray before placing shrimp on it. Then spray each shrimp with butter spray.
  • With your hands mound some of the stuffing and place it on each shrimp.
  • Sprinkle with just a little bit of paprika, Don't overdo it.
  • Bake at 375F for 12 minutes, then place under broiler for 1 minute to brown top lightly.
