{{ :recipes:baked_stuffed_shrimp.jpg?direct&200|}} ====== Baked Stuffed Shrimp ====== /* Description */ ** WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:** In this special-occasion recipe, colossal shrimp are spread open, packed with a buttery stuffing, and baked until the stuffing is crisp and the shrimp are just cooked through. But after preparing several baked stuffed shrimp recipes, we realized that there were two big problems—mushy, bland stuffing and shrimp as chewy as rubber bands. We wanted a baked stuffed shrimp recipe that produced crisp, flavorful stuffing and perfectly cooked shrimp. In our recipe, tasters preferred the sweet flavor of fresh bread crumbs. Toasting the bread crumbs before baking helped ensure a crispy baked stuffing. Butterflying the shrimp allowed us to press the stuffing into the shrimp—as the shrimp contracted in the oven, the stuffing was sealed into place. To make sure our Baked Stuffed Shrimp recipe’s stuffing was crispy without overcooking the shrimp, we cooked the shrimp for a longer time at a lower temperature. {(rater>id=100|name=Baked Stuffed Shrimp|type=rate|headline=off)} |**Preheat:** 375°|**Yield:** 4-6 servings|| |**Prep:** 0:00|**Wait:** 0:00|**Cook:** 0:25| ====== Ingredients ====== * 4 slices hearty white sandwich bread , torn into pieces * 1/2 cup mayonnaise * 1/4 cup bottled clam juice * 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley * 4 scallions , chopped fine * 2 garlic cloves minced * 2 teaspoons grated zest and 1 tablespoon juice from 1 lemon * 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard * 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper * Salt * 1 1/4 pounds colossal shrimp, peeled and deveined ====== Directions ====== - Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees.
