Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

In a large bowl, combine the crushed round crackers, parsley, crushed saltines, celery salt, and minced garlic. Add the finely chopped scallops, imitation crabmeat, melted butter, and white cooking wine. Mix thoroughly to create a well-combined stuffing. (10 minutes)

03

Step
15 mins

Place a shrimp on a cutting board. Carefully slice horizontally through the middle, being cautious not to cut completely through. Open the shrimp like a butterfly. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. (15 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Generously stuff each shrimp with a heaping tablespoon of the prepared stuffing. Arrange the stuffed shrimp back-side up in the prepared baking dish. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the dish to maintain moisture during baking. (10 minutes)

05

Step
17 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the shrimp are fully opaque and the stuffing is golden brown, approximately 15 to 18 minutes. (18 minutes)

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to the stuffing mixture.
Serve these delightful stuffed shrimp with a side of melted butter or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. They pair wonderfully with a crisp garden salad and a fluffy rice pilaf or a baked potato.
Feel free to experiment with other seafood additions to the stuffing, such as lump crab meat or bay scallops.
Ensure the shrimp are thoroughly deveined for the best taste and texture.
If Ritz crackers are unavailable, you can use other buttery round crackers as a substitute.
Adjust baking time based on the size of the shrimp; smaller shrimp may require less time.
