Ingredients

  • 1 pound jumbo cooked shrimp peeled, deveined, tail-on
  • cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 8 ounces lump crab meat
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet.
  • Using paring knife, butterfly shrimp by carefully cutting along the deveining side (where the vein used to be) of each shrimp, until about 2/3rds of the way through the shrimp flesh. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Open the flesh of the shrimp so they lay flat and place them on baking pan.
  • Place breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, garlic powder and paprika in medium bowl and stir until well combined. Gently fold in crab and chives, being sure not to break up crab too much.
  • Stuff each shrimp with a spoonful of crab mixture, gently patting and mounding it onto shrimp until all crab mixture is used. Transfer shrimp to oven and bake 10 minutes or until crab mixture is warmed through.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Be gentle when folding the stuffing together to maintain the lumpiness (a good thing!) of the crab meat.
  • If using frozen shrimp, thaw in a bowl of cool water for 15 to 20 minutes, changing the water several times, before starting recipe.
