This baked stuffed shrimp recipe was created by my late mother over 30 years ago. My grandparents, father, and I have enjoyed these baked stuffed shrimp every other Friday for many years. Eating baked stuffed shrimp for dinner and then playing cards is a tradition! We’ve been leaving out the scallops lately due to the high price, and we don’t even miss them. Serve with melted butter or freshly squeezed lemon along with a garden salad and rice pilaf or baked potato.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 (4 ounce) packages crushed buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®)
- ½ cup chopped parsley
- 5 saltine crackers, crushed
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 4 sea scallops, chopped
- ½ cup chopped imitation crabmeat
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- ¼ cup white cooking wine
- 20 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Mix together round crackers, parsley, saltines, celery salt, and garlic in a large bowl. Add scallops, crabmeat, melted butter, and cooking wine; mix stuffing well.
Step 3
Place a shrimp on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, careful not to cut through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Step 4
Stuff each shrimp with a heaping tablespoon stuffing and place back-side up in the prepared baking dish. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water to the bottom of the baking dish to keep shrimp moist during baking.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are opaque and stuffing begins to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
