Time 35m

Yield 24 depending on shrimp count

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 eggs, lightly beaten
soft breadcrumbs, equal to a hamburger bun
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 lb lump crabmeat (best available)
1 lb med to large shrimp (Royal Reds are best)
parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel shrimp leaving tails and slice down middle deveining as you go.
  • Lay on greased cookie sheet to form a circle with the tail pointing up.
  • (Fan the tail out for beauty and handle) Mix first 7 ingredients and gently fold into crabmeat.
  • Place a spoonful of crabmeat mixture on top of the circle.
  • Top with fresh parmesan (optional) Place cookie sheet in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, remove with spatula to serving tray, Serve immediately.
  • Also, try stuffing mushrooms which only take 10-15 minutes in the oven, same temp.
  • To prepare for a party, prepare trays, cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator, then just place in oven when ready and serve in 15 minutes!
  • Having medium shrimp saves money and makes more of a finger-food size.
  • I've made extra and frozen some to be used as side dishes.
  • If you can't get seafood where you live, you can order all supplies from a seafood place in Florida- Joe Patti's Seafood online.
  • Even mid-westerners can enjoy a special fresh seafood treat.

I found that the stuffing was a bit too salty for my taste, so I would recommend reducing the amount of salt in the recipe.

I used a different type of crab meat than the recipe called for and it still turned out great.
