BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP WITH CRABMEAT STUFFING



Baked Stuffed Shrimp with Crabmeat Stuffing image

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.

Categories     appetizer

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.
