How to Make Baked Stuffed Shrimp With Crabmeat Stuffing
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with foil and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound lump crabmeat, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (or salt and pepper to taste).
- Cover and refrigerate the crabmeat mixture until ready to use (at least 30 minutes).
- In a 12-inch skillet, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter over medium-high heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Add the cooled vegetables to the refrigerated crabmeat mixture. Gently toss to combine.
- Stir in 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of hot sauce.
- Add 1 cup fine cracker crumbs, salt, and pepper to taste. Gently stir, being careful not to overmix or break up the crabmeat.
- Spoon the crabmeat stuffing evenly into 1 pound large shrimp (peeled, deveined, and butterflied). Place stuffed shrimp in the prepared baking dish, stuffed sides up.
- Drizzle with the remaining melted butter from step 5.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the stuffing is golden brown and heated through.
