Crab Stuffed Shrimp Recipe - The Best Shrimp Ever!
Looking for a showstopping appetizer to impress your guests? Look no further than this amazing crab stuffed shrimp recipe. With a combination of juicy jumbo shrimp and luscious lump crab meat, this dish is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
To make the crab stuffing, you'll need some Duke's mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, sugar, fresh squeezed lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, and breadcrumbs. Mix all of these ingredients together in a mixing bowl, being careful not to break up the lumps of crab meat too much. The breadcrumbs will act as a binder, so add them gradually until the mixture reaches the consistency of a meatball.
Now it's time to prepare the shrimp. Make sure to use jumbo shrimp with the tails on for this recipe. Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, and butterfly them by slicing down the back and removing the dark vein. Soak the shrimp in salt water to clean them thoroughly.
Grease a baking sheet with some butter and season the shrimp with your preferred seasoning, such as Emerald Essence or your favorite blend of spices. Place the shrimp on the baking sheet and top each one with a ball of the crab stuffing. Fold the tail over the top of the stuffing for a beautiful presentation.
Bake the shrimp at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and golden brown. In the meantime, prepare a sauce by mixing minced roasted garlic, Duke's mayonnaise, sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Adjust the sauce to your taste preferences and use it for dipping or drizzling over the cooked shrimp.
Once the shrimp are cooked, plate them up and garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is simply irresistible. Your guests will be impressed by the beautiful presentation and mouthwatering taste of these crab stuffed shrimp.
