Baked Stuffed Shrimp with Crab

BakedMediumPrep 20 minCook 25 minServes 4

Plump shrimp stuffed with a buttery crab filling and baked until golden — a special-occasion plate with weeknight effort.

Ingredients

16 jumbo shrimp, peeled, tails on, butterflied
8 oz lump crabmeat, picked over
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Steps

Heat the oven to 375°F and butter a baking dish.
Mix the crabmeat, panko, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper gently, keeping the lumps intact.
Arrange the butterflied shrimp in the dish, cut-side up, and mound a spoonful of filling on each one.
Drizzle with the melted butter.
Bake 18-22 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the topping is golden.
Rest 2 minutes and serve with lemon wedges.

Serve with: roasted asparagus and lemon wedges.

Butterfly the shrimp deeply but not all the way through, so the filling has a pocket to sit in.
