Baked Stuffed Shrimp With Crabmeat Ritz Crackers Recipe 45

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Mix crushed round crackers, parsley, saltines, celery salt, and garlic together in a large bowl. Add scallops, crabmeat, melted butter, and cooking wine; mix stuffing well.
• Place a shrimp on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
• Stuff each shrimp with a heaping tablespoon of stuffing and place back-side up in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining shrimp and stuffing. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons water to the bottom of the baking dish to keep shrimp moist during baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are opaque and stuffing is beginning to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line your baking dish with foil, and butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the crabmeat in a large bowl ad season with the Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. In your fry pan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over med-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the parsley and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool. Add the cooled vegetables to the crabmeat and toss to combine. Add the mayo, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir gently. Add 1 cup of cracker crumbs, salt and pepper to taste, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat. Spoon the crabmeat stuffing evenly into each shrimp (about 2 tablespoons), and place, stuffed sides up, in your baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
