Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined, tail-on)
- 8 ounces lump crabmeat
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Butterfly each shrimp by making a deep cut along the back without cutting all the way through. Gently press to flatten and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to maintain the crabmeat's texture.
Spoon a portion of the crabmeat mixture onto the back of each butterflied shrimp, pressing lightly to secure the stuffing.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the stuffed shrimp, then sprinkle paprika on top for color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the stuffing is golden and set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
