For me, crab-stuffed shrimp is the ultimate holiday appetizer. Aside from being mouthwatering, they always look stunning.
Hope you enjoy! 💕
Shrimp: 1 pound of shrimp (large or jumbo) 1 tbsp avocado oil 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp old bay 1/2 tsp garlic powder Pepper to taste
Crab mixture: 16 oz crabmeat (I used 8oz of lump & 8oz claw) 1/4 cup mayo 1 egg 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 c bread crumbs (I blend my favorite gluten-free cracker) 1 tbsp Dijon mustard Lemon juice (1/2 to a whole lemon) 1 tbsp Worcestershire 1 tsp old bay 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tbsp parsley Dash of hot sauce
Peel and devein shrimp, cutting further down to butterfly. Mix all shrimp ingredients in a bowl.
For the crab mixture, mix everything in a bowl except for the crabmeat. Once everything is mixed, gently mix in crabmeat.
Form a small ball of the crab mixture and place it on top of the shrimp, folding the tail over like a scorpion.
Bake for 18 to 20 mins at 375° or until golden brown and shrimp is cooked through.
As a commercial shrimper im always baffled how people keep the tails on… That should be considered attempt of murder. Pointy, not a pleasure to chew, and definitely doesn't add much in sense of flavor.
