🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on)
• 12 slices Bacon
• 4 oz Crab meat
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Parsley, finely chopped
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

2. Prepare the seafood stuffing by combining crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until combined.

3. Butterfly the shrimp by slicing them along the back to create a pocket for stuffing, being careful not to cut all the way through.

4. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the seafood stuffing into the pocket of each shrimp and press gently to secure it.

5. Wrap each stuffed shrimp with a slice of bacon, ensuring the stuffing is covered and the shrimp is secure. Use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place if needed.

6. Arrange the bacon-wrapped stuffed shrimp on the prepared wire rack, evenly spaced apart to allow even cooking.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

8. Remove toothpicks (if used) and let the shrimp rest for 2 minutes before serving.

9. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
