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.

Provided by Julie Cahoon

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (4 ounce) packages crushed buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®)
cooking spray
½ cup parsley
5 saltine crackers, crushed
½ teaspoon celery salt
1 clove minced garlic
4 sea scallops, chopped
½ cup chopped imitation crabmeat
¼ cup butter, melted
¼ cup white cooking wine
20 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix crushed round crackers, parsley, saltines, celery salt, and garlic together in a large bowl. Add scallops, crabmeat, melted butter, and cooking wine; mix stuffing well.
  • Place a shrimp on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Stuff each shrimp with a heaping tablespoon of stuffing and place back-side up in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining shrimp and stuffing. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons water to the bottom of the baking dish to keep shrimp moist during baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are opaque and stuffing is beginning to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.

GRILLED BUFFALO SHRIMP

Out of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. One of Cleveland Cavaliers' Donyell Marshall's favorite recipes. Originally called for broiling but everything is better grilled! I add more hot sauce than is called for and it still isn't too spicy.

GARLICKY BUFFALO SHRIMP



Garlicky Buffalo Shrimp image

Way better than buffalo wings, and lower in fat! Sooo quick and easy, too! Shrimp are sauteed right in the buffalo sauce for optimum flavor, rather than deep fried. Adjust hot sauce amounts to suit your taste, and a dash or so of your favorite BBQ sauce added will mellow it if you'd like it milder. Below is a medium spicy recipe.

Provided by c.walsh

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 13m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 dash salt
1 dash ground pepper
2 tablespoons hot sauce (recommended Frank's or Texas Pete)
1 teaspoon barbecue sauce (optional)
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Saute garlic in olive oil and butter over medium heat until translucent, being careful not to brown it, about 2 minutes.
  • Add a dash of salt and pepper, then hot sauce, and cook until garlic is softened, about a minute or two more. Again, do not brown it or it will become bitter!
  • Taste and adjust seasonings. Add BBQ sauce if desired, or more hot sauce if you'd like it spicier. More butter can be added if desired, to make it milder as well.
  • Add shrimp and saute until done. (Pink and slightly curled).
  • Remove from heat, toss with parsley.
