Cornbread-Stuffed Shrimp image

Shrimp are a great low-fat protein. Instead of frying them, we bake them at high heat. The cornbread stuffing protects the meat and becomes golden and crisp.

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
