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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Pull the edges of the split lobster shells apart and gently lift the tail meat to rest above the shells. Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet.
- Brush each portion of tail meat with 1 teaspoon melted butter.
- Lightly mix the crushed crackers, crabmeat, 1/4 cup of clarified butter, parsley, seafood seasoning, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Spoon half the stuffing onto each lobster tail; press lightly to slightly shape the stuffing so it doesn't fall off.
- Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven until the meat is opaque and the stuffing is golden brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lobster tail should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).

OLD BAY CRABMEAT STUFFING
Love this stuff... I think it's best suited to (of course) fish or seafood, but also chicken or a Cornish hen. I love the bite of the Tabasco and the flavor of the seasonings blending with the crab. I like to use whole-grain bread for its benefits, but white bread sure tastes good here!

Tips:
- Choose the right crabmeat. Fresh or frozen crabmeat can be used in this stuffing, but canned crabmeat should be avoided as it is often too salty.
- Don't overcook the crabmeat. Crabmeat is a delicate protein that can easily become tough and rubbery if overcooked. Be sure to cook it just until it is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This stuffing recipe calls for celery, onion, and bell pepper, but you can also add other vegetables such as carrots, corn, or peas.
- Season the stuffing to taste. Be sure to taste the stuffing before baking it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You can add more Old Bay seasoning, salt, or pepper to taste.
- Bake the stuffing until it is golden brown. The stuffing should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and heated through.
Conclusion:
This Old Bay crabmeat stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
