Ingredients

For the Shrimp

  • 12 large jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Stuffing

  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

For Serving

  • Lemon wedges
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butterfly the shrimp by cutting along the back without slicing all the way through.
  3. Lay the shrimp flat on a baking sheet, cut-side up.
  4. In a bowl, mix the crab meat, panko, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, melted butter, and lemon juice.
  5. Spoon the stuffing onto each shrimp, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Drizzle shrimp with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through and the stuffing is golden.
  8. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the shrimp for the last 2 minutes. Use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor.
