Ingredients

12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ lb lump crab meat (fresh or canned)
¼ cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the shrimp by cutting a slit down the back of each one, creating a pocket for stuffing.
Make the crab stuffing by combining crab meat, breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic, Parmesan, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
Stuff the shrimp by gently pressing the crab mixture into the slit of each shrimp, ensuring the stuffing stays in place.
Drizzle with lemon juice to enhance the flavors.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the stuffing is lightly golden.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite sides.
