Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges, for serving
1 clove garlic, finely grated
3 tablespoons steak sauce
Kosher salt
12 jumbo shrimp (U10s), shelled and deveined
6 strips bacon, cut in half crosswise

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
  • Add the crab, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon zest and juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the steak sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a large bowl and stir until well combined.
  • Cut a deep slit down the ridged back of each shrimp and open it up like a book. Put the shrimp on a baking sheet and press the tails down firmly so they lay flat. Top evenly with the crab mixture, then lay a piece of bacon across the crab mixture on each shrimp, tucking the ends under the shrimp and making sure they do not overlap.
  • Broil until the bacon starts to crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon steak sauce and continue to broil until the bacon is dark golden and slightly charred in a few spots, about 2 minutes more depending on your broiler. Serve with lemon wedges.

THE LADY AND SON'S CRAB-STUFFED SHRIMP (PAULA DEEN)



The Lady and Son's Crab-Stuffed Shrimp (Paula Deen) image

I am a Paula Deen Fanatic. She is probably the only chef on Food Network I would fall down and worship at her feet. I got the Christmas mag., "Celebrates" and Savannah Country Cooking (this one is SIGNED BY PAULA AND MICHAEL!) for Christmas. I'm posting the recipes here that are in these cookbooks that are not already posted (the ones I want to try, anyway) because if I were to get something on these cookbooks or they got messed up in anyway, I'd have to commit suicide. So...enjoy right along with me!

  • Add the cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
  • Split the shrimp down the bottom center to the tail, being careful not to cut through the back. Stuff each shrimp with a small mound of the crabmeat mixture. Wrap the shrimp in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet and cook in the top third of the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 4 minutes to crisp the bacon.

BACON WRAPPED CRAB STUFFED SHRIMP RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Bacon Wrapped Crab Stuffed Shrimp Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-2179

Number Of Ingredients 15

Bacon Wrapped Crab Stuffed Shrimp:
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked clean
1/2 butter crackers, crushed (recommended: Ritz)
3 scallions, tops and whites finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon table salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
16 large shrimp, peeled
16 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven for 350 degrees F. To make the crab stuffing: Combine the crab, crackers, scallions, pepper, mayonnaise, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, lemon, and garlic. Season the stuffing with salt and pepper and mix well. Set the stuffing aside. Using a paring knife, slice the shrimp down the backs and remove and discard the 'veins'. Deepen the incisions if necessary, then spoon stuffing into each shrimp. Wrap each stuffed shrimp with bacon and arrange them in a large baking dish. Transfer the shrimp to the oven and roast until the bacon begins to render and brown, about 10 minutes. Flip the shrimp and roast on the second side until the shrimp are opaque, 5 to 10 minutes more.

Tips:

  • To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Remove the vein and rinse the shrimp under cold water.
  • To make the crab stuffing, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, onion, celery, and Old Bay seasoning in a bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To wrap the shrimp in bacon, place a shrimp on a slice of bacon and roll the bacon around the shrimp, starting from the tail end. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.
  • To cook the shrimp, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the shrimp on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through.
  • To make the lemon-basil cream sauce, combine the heavy cream, lemon juice, basil, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped crab-stuffed shrimp with lemon-basil cream sauce is a delicious and elegant appetizer or main course. The shrimp are tender and juicy, the crab stuffing is flavorful and creamy, and the bacon adds a crispy and smoky flavor. The lemon-basil cream sauce is the perfect complement to the shrimp, adding a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is perfect for any special occasion.
