2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish and set aside.
  • Place the crabmeat in a large bowl and season with the Essence. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the parsley and the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Add the cooled vegetables to the crabmeat and toss to combine. Add the mayonnaise, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir gently with a large wooden spoon. Add 1 cup of the cracker crumbs, the salt, and pepper, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat.
  • Mound about 2 tablespoons of the crabmeat stuffing into each shrimp, press gently to close, and place, stuffed sides up, in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the flaky, buttery cracker crumbs over the stuffed shrimp and drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
  • While the shrimp are baking, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. Add the kale and saute until the kale is just wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the kale on 4 plates. Remove the shrimp from the oven and divide among plates, on top of the kale. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
  • Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch. Published by William and Morrow, 1993.

Tips:

  • Prep the shrimp: Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for a visually appealing presentation.
  • Make sure the stuffing is well-seasoned: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and breadcrumbs to create a flavorful filling for the shrimp.
  • Don't overstuff the shrimp: The stuffing should be packed tightly but not so tightly that it bursts out of the shrimp while baking.
  • Use a baking dish that's just big enough to hold the shrimp: This will help the shrimp cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Bake the shrimp until they're cooked through: The shrimp should be opaque and firm when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: These are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Baked stuffed shrimp is an elegant and delicious appetizer or main course that's perfect for special occasions. With its flavorful stuffing and crispy breadcrumb topping, this dish is sure to impress your guests. The recipe is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for busy home cooks. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give baked stuffed shrimp a try.
