Ingredients

• 12 pieces Jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails intact)
• 8 ounces Lump crabmeat
• 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
• 4 pieces Extra lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.

Step 2

Butterfly the shrimp by cutting along the back from head to tail, being careful not to cut all the way through. Flatten them gently and arrange in the prepared baking dish with the tails pointing up.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crabmeat too much.

Step 4

Take a small portion of the crab stuffing mixture and form it into a ball or mound. Place it on the back of each butterflied shrimp, pressing gently to secure it.

Step 5

Once all the shrimp are stuffed, sprinkle a pinch of additional paprika over the top for color, if desired.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the stuffing is golden brown on top.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with extra lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
