Ingredients

• 16 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 0.5 pieces Red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 0.5 stalks Celery, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsalted breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 2

Prepare the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back to butterfly them, allowing space for the stuffing.

Step 3

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the chopped red bell pepper and celery to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Stir in sliced green onions, lemon zest, and parsley. Cook for an additional minute before removing from heat.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked vegetable mixture, unsalted breadcrumbs, lemon juice, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the butterflied shrimp and toss gently to coat.

Step 8

Arrange the shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, and spoon the stuffing mixture onto each shrimp.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the stuffing is lightly golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
