Recipe Directions

BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP  

Ingredients
 
4 oz whole butter 1/4 cup diced celery 1/4 cup diced onion 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs salt & pepper to taste clam juice for moistening 11/2 tsp old bay seasoning 12 jumbo shrimp (U16), deveined and butterflied  

Directions
 
Slowly sauté the celery and onions in butter until onions are transparent. Add salt and pepper and old bay seasoning. Add breadcrumbs and mix well. Slowly mix in the clam juice until mixture is firm and moist. Do not overmix. Stuff the mixture generously into the shrimp and place on a well greased sheet pan with the shrimp tails facing up. Bake in a slow 325-350º oven until shrimp is cooked and stuffing is browned, approx 25-35 minutes. Baste shrimp and stuffing occasionally with melted butter to keep moist. Prepare a lemon butter sauce by melting some butter and squeezing in fresh lemon juice to taste. Add a little corn starch mixed in water if you would like to give the lemon butter sauce some texture and body.
