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.

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.

SHRIMP-STUFFED MIRLITON



Shrimp-Stuffed Mirliton image

Mirliton -- also known as chayote -- is a light green, slightly pear-shaped squash that's a staple in Louisiana. This crab and shrimp-stuffed version is a dish often found in restaurants. Go to a specialty supermarket to hunt down the squash and celebrate your next holiday New Orleans style.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 mirlitons (chayote squash), halved (about 3 pounds)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces andouille sausage, chopped
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
1 plum tomato, chopped
4 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through
4 ounces peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tails removed, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the mirliton halves cut-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add 1 cup of water, cover tightly with foil and bake until soft, cooked through and easily poked with a fork, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes. (Leave the oven on.) Scoop out the pulp--making sure to leave a 1/4-inch border all around--then chop the pulp and reserve. Discard the water from the baking dish and return the scooped-out mirliton halves cut-side down.
  • Meanwhile, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter with the Cajun seasoning in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery, garlic, bell pepper, onion and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and just begin to brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the sausage, hot sauce and tomatoes and cook, stirring, until the sausage is warmed through and the tomatoes start to release their juices, about 3 minutes. Add the crab, shrimp and reserved mirliton pulp and continue cooking until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Microwave the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe dish until melted, about 30 seconds. Add the breadcrumbs and parsley and stir until well combined.
  • Turn each mirliton half over so the cut side is facing up. Stuff each with about 1/2 cup of the crab and shrimp mixture--it will seem like a lot, but that's OK. Sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture and bake until the shrimp are cooked through and the breadcrumbs turn a deep golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with additional hot sauce if desired.

20 large white mushrooms, stems removed
1 (4 ounce) can small shrimp, rinsed, drained and broken up
½ cup chive and onion flavored cream cheese
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
1 dash Louisiana-style hot sauce, or to taste
¾ cup grated Romano cheese

Steps:

Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the shrimp mixture into the cap of each mushroom and place, stuffing side up, in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the Romano cheese onto each mushroom. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to blend the flavors and firm up the stuffing.

CRAB-STUFFED BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP



Crab-Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp image

This riff on a steakhouse classic--shrimp cocktail--is over-the-top decadent. Folding steak sauce into the crab stuffing and brushing it on at the end gives it zip, balancing the seafood's richness.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges, for serving
1 clove garlic, finely grated
3 tablespoons steak sauce
Kosher salt
12 jumbo shrimp (U10s), shelled and deveined
6 strips bacon, cut in half crosswise

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
  • Add the crab, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon zest and juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the steak sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a large bowl and stir until well combined.
  • Cut a deep slit down the ridged back of each shrimp and open it up like a book. Put the shrimp on a baking sheet and press the tails down firmly so they lay flat. Top evenly with the crab mixture, then lay a piece of bacon across the crab mixture on each shrimp, tucking the ends under the shrimp and making sure they do not overlap.
  • Broil until the bacon starts to crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon steak sauce and continue to broil until the bacon is dark golden and slightly charred in a few spots, about 2 minutes more depending on your broiler. Serve with lemon wedges.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 extra large zucchini
¼ cup olive oil, divided
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
½ pound large shrimp - shelled, deveined, and cut in half
1 large tomato - peeled, seeded and diced
8 cremini mushrooms, quartered
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 leaves fresh basil, torn
ground black pepper to taste
kosher salt to taste
garlic powder to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Grease a baking sheet.
  • Cut the zucchini in half the long way, and scoop out the seeds and pulp, leaving a thick shell of flesh. Brush both halves of the zucchini with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and place them, cut sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the zucchini are hot and beginning to release beads of moisture, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the zucchini from the oven.
  • Reduce the oven heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the garlic and shallot until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the shrimp, diced tomato, mushrooms, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, basil, and the cooked garlic and shallot into a bowl, and stir to mix. Season to taste with black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Stuff the mixture into the zucchini halves, and sprinkle each zucchini with about 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the stuffed zucchini in the preheated oven until the cheese is browned and the filling is cooked through and hot, about 20 minutes.

FIVE-INGREDIENT GRILLED SHRIMP-STUFFED MUSHROOMS



Five-Ingredient Grilled Shrimp-Stuffed Mushrooms image

Stuffed mushrooms can be much more than bite-size hors d'oeuvres at cocktail parties-they can also be a delicious entree. Portobello mushrooms stuffed with shrimp are a low-fat, protein-packed seafood dinner option containing potassium, iron and zinc. The meatiness of the mushroom paired with shrimp is a new take on surf-and-turf, with the added benefit of 15 vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds. Round out this meal with slices of French bread brushed with olive oil and grilled. Or serve the patties in 100 percent whole-grain buns along with sliced avocado.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 portobello mushroom
2 scallions, white and green parts
1 1/4 pounds frozen peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed, tails removed, blotted dry
Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt
2 teaspoons rice bran oil, grapeseed oil or expeller-pressed canola oil
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium, about 350 to 400 degrees F.
  • Rinse the tops of the mushrooms briefly under running water, rubbing off any debris, and pat dry. Gently remove the gills with a spoon (the gills are edible, but their dark shade can muck up the color of the filling). Pluck off the stems, trim the bottom of the stems, and reserve. Trim the rims of the mushrooms with kitchen shears, for a straighter edge. Reserve scraps. Place mushroom caps on a plate.
  • Slice finely slice enough of the green scallion tops to equal 2 tablespoons and reserve for garnish. Place the remaining white and green scallion parts in a large food processor and pulse to chop. Add the mushroom stems and scraps, shrimp, lemon zest and juice, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Pulse until the shrimp is nearly ground, with some small pieces remaining.
  • Brush the mushroom tops with oil, turn them over, then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Divide the shrimp mixture equally among the mushrooms and smooth with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Lightly oil the area of the grill that you will be using. Grill the stuffed mushrooms until the shrimp centers turn white and firm when pressed gently and the mushrooms are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the mushrooms to rest a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve with lemon wedges.
