How to Make Crab Stuffed Shrimp

  1. Rinse 1 pound of shrimp under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Butterfly the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back of each shrimp, leaving the tail intact.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1/2 cup cooked crab meat, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture into each shrimp, mounding slightly.
  5. Arrange the stuffed shrimp in a lightly greased baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the crab mixture is heated through.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.
