BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP WITH RITZ CRACKERS®
My late mother created this recipe over thirty years ago. My grandparents, my father, and myself have enjoyed these baked stuffed shrimp every other Friday for many years. It's a tradition - we eat baked stuffed shrimp for dinner and then play cards! (We've been leaving out the scallops lately due to the high price, and we don't even miss them.) We serve the shrimp with a nice garden salad and rice pilaf or baked potato.

Steps:
- Move oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 375°Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray it with noncook cooking spray.
- In a small skillet or pan add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add in the shallot and saute, stirring frequently, until softened and the edges begin to turn light brown, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
- In a medium bowl, add the shallot, crushed Ritz crackers, melted butter, sherry wine, and pepper. Stir until combined.
- Remove the shell, leaving the tail section intact. Hold the shrimp in your hand with the inside of the curve facing down. Make a shallow cut with a paring knife down the back of the shrimp. Use the tip of the knife or a toothpick to remove the vein.
- Then, flip the shrimp, so the inside of the curve is facing up. Run the paring knife along the length of the inside, cutting about ½-inch into the flesh, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH! You should now be able to flatten the shrimp with the tail pointing up. Place the shrimp, with this new cut side facing up, on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Use a 1-Tablespoon scoop to scoop the stuffing into a mound on the flat part of the shrimp. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the stuffing is golden brown.
- Serve with lemon wedges, a sprinkle of paprika, and melted butter for dipping, YUM!

BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP WITH CRABMEAT STUFFING
This dish is part of our family Christmas Eve celebration every year. I love baked stuffed shrimp, but so many restaurants here prepare their shrimp piled high with Ritz crackers drenched in butter. I think the crabmeat stuffing adds somethng a bit more special. Prep time includes the stuffing's cooling time.

CAPE COD BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP
Growing up in the Boston area, a Saturday night favorite at restaurants was Baked Stuffed Shrimp. This dish is light and delicious and the trick is to bake the shrimp in a glass pie dish, not on a dark cookie sheet -they come out much more juicy. Also, I added a little Marsala for sweetness - but I guess Sherry would do. Be sure to use only Ritz brand crackers and not the low fat variety or the taste will be greatly compromised.

BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP
This is a recipe for shrimp with a seasoned bread stuffing. I love to serve this dish when I have guests for dinner because I can prepare the shrimp early in the day. I've always received rave reviews over this recipe and have shared it often. You may add diced lobster or scallops to the cracker mixture just before baking. Serve with drawn butter.
