Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 Jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined, with tail on)
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 0.333 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Butterfly each shrimp by slicing along the curved back to open them up slightly, being careful not to cut all the way through. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Take a small spoonful of the crab stuffing and shape it into a mound. Place the stuffing onto the butterflied part of each shrimp, gently pressing it into place.
Arrange the stuffed shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the melted butter over the shrimp and stuffing for added flavor and moisture.
Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the stuffing is lightly golden on top.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
