How to Make Maine Baked Stuffed Shrimp

  1. **Prepare the Shrimp:** Gently rinse 1 pound of cooked Maine shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. **Melt the Butter:** In an 8x8 inch baking dish, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven until the butter is melted and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
  3. **Arrange the Shrimp:** Arrange the cooked shrimp in a single layer in the melted butter mixture, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  4. **Prepare the Stuffing:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Lightly toss with a fork until evenly combined.
  5. **Top with Stuffing:** Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp in the baking dish.
  6. **Bake Covered:** Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
  7. **Bake Uncovered:** Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the shrimp are heated through.
