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!

STUFFED SHRIMP



Stuffed Shrimp image

Baked Crab Stuffed Shrimp with perfectly cooked shrimp on the bottom and a savory crab cake stuffing on top!

Provided by Kelly Anthony

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 31m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds 15/20 count shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
2 tablespoons avocado or canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces lump crab meat
1/3 cup grated parmesan, separated
1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup green onions, sliced
1 large egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons diced pimientos, drained
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
Zest and juice of a lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and have ready a rimmed baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Then, working with one shrimp at a time, lay it back-side down (a.k.a. leg-side up). Use a paring knife to make a small incision down the shrimp, from the start of the tail, cutting toward the head of the shrimp. Continue doing this until the shrimp is butterflied and can lay flat. Do your best not to cut all the way through the body of the shrimp.
  • Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl, drizzle with oil, sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper, and very gently toss to coat. Transfer to the baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crab, parmesan cheese, plain breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, green onions, beaten egg, pimiento peppers, chopped parsley, Old Bay seasoning, lemon zest, and juice. Gently, fold the mixture together until well combined.
  • Add tablespoon-sized spoonfuls of the crab mixture on top of each shrimp, and bring up the tail, tucking it gently into the stuffing.
  • Bake for about 16-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are completely opaque and pink in color. Allow to cool slightly, serve and enjoy!

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.

CRAB STUFFED SHRIMP



Crab Stuffed Shrimp image

This is an incredible way to serve shrimp. These stuffed shrimp make an elegant party appetizer or a filling main meal. Plan to serve 2 per person for an appetizer or 4 to 5 per person for a main meal. Prepping the shrimp and rolling the crab stuffing can be a bit messy and time consuming but it is worth every minute. Prep them in advance to save time. The mayonnaise is optional. Read the notes if you are adverse to using mayonnaise.
