Description

This elegant yet approachable dish features large shrimp butterflied and generously stuffed with a savory mixture of lump crabmeat, Parmesan, and Creole-spiced vegetables. The combination of sweet crab and briny shrimp creates a luxurious seafood experience that feels special but is surprisingly quick to prepare. The addition of a tangy Red Bean Relish adds a delightful textural contrast and pop of color. Perfect for a romantic dinner, a summer gathering, or when you need to impress guests with minimal effort. The buttery richness is balanced by fresh herbs and zesty mustard, ensuring every bite is flavorful and satisfying.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191&# 194;°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.
  3. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over high heat.
  4. Add onions, celery, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of Creole seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper; sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
  5. Add the lump crabmeat to the skillet and toss gently for about 1 minute, being careful not to break up the lumps.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool for 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk the egg.
  8. Stir the cooled crab mixture into the egg.
  9. Fold in the Parmesan cheese, mustard, and bread crumbs until well combined.
  10. Butterfly the shrimp by making a deep cut along the back, leaving the tails intact.
  11. Place each shrimp on the prepared baking sheet and spoon a generous amount of the crab stuffing into the slit of each shrimp.
  12. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the stuffing is heated through.
  13. Serve hot with Red Bean Relish and garnish with chopped green onions.
