Seaworthy Stuffed Shrimp

Ingredients

  • cup chopped celery
  • cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • ¼ cup butter
  • cup Panko crumbs
  • cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Old Bay
  • 1 lb fresh shrimp (15-16) tails on, deveined and butterflied
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 °F.
  • In a small microwaveable bowl, combine half of garlic with butter and melt in microwave in 30 second intervals.
  • In a small sauté pan, sauté onion, celery and remaining garlic in a spoonful of melted garlic butter until veggies soften, about 3-4 minutes.  Set aside to cool.
  • In medium bowl, combine Panko and Parmesan.  Use hands to massage Parmesan into Panko crumbs until uniform size.  Set aside.
  • In small bowl, combine mayo, mustard, and Old Bay, stir into sautéd vegetables.  Add the veggies to crumb mixture and combine to make filling.
  • Line shallow pan with foil and brush with a bit of melted garlic butter.  Arrange shrimp on pan.  Using small scoop, place approximately 1 Tbsp stuffing on top of shrimp and bend tail over filling.  Drizzle with remaining melted garlic butter.  Sprinkle with black pepper.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes.  Switch to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown. (Or, if you prefer to make Dennis’ jerky, simply put a few stuffed shrimp onto a microwave safe cake pan. Cook for 5 minutes.)
