Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Jumbo shrimp
- 6 ounces Jumbo lump crab meat
- 1/2 teaspoon Avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Crackers or bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1/2 stick Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- Chopped parsley (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for garnish)
Method
- Heat the oven to 375°F and line a baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper for the stuffed shrimp.
- Toss the cleaned, peeled and deveined shrimp in a small bowl with the avocado oil and half of the combined Old Bay, Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper and smoked paprika.
- Stir the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, crushed crackers or breadcrumbs and the rest of the seasoning blend together in a separate bowl.
- Fold the lump crab meat into the mixture gently, keeping the lumps from breaking up completely.
- Butterfly each shrimp by cutting a small slit along the bottom, curved side down and tail up, so it can sit flat in the dish.
- Set about a teaspoon of the crab mixture onto the inner curve of each shrimp and arrange the stuffed shrimp flat in the baking dish.
- Bake for 10–13 minutes, until the crab topping turns golden brown.
- While the shrimp bake, melt the butter with the garlic and parsley in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 10-second bursts until fully melted.
- Drizzle the garlic butter over the baked shrimp, scatter more parsley on top, and serve with lemon wedges at the side of the platter.
