-
12 jumbo shrimp
-
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
-
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
12 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup dried breadcrumbs, or cracker crumbs
-
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
Prepare the Shrimp
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
To shell the shrimp, use a small sharp knife to slice through the shell of each shrimp along the length of the outside curve.
-
Peel off the entire shell except for the tail portion of each shrimp.
-
To devein the shrimp, use the tip of the knife to pull out the dark vein
that runs down the outside of the shrimp. Discard the veins and shells.
-
Place the shrimp on a cutting board and make another cut along the
inside curve of the shrimp, cutting almost all the way through.
-
Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and drain.
-
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, parsley, and ginger.
-
Pour half of the mixture into a shallow dish, add the shrimp, and toss to coat.
-
Cover and let the shrimp marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes. Reserve the remaining lemon juice mixture.
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
In a medium skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium heat.
-
Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until it just begins to turn golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes more.
-
Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and half of the parsley, and stir until blended.
-
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Remove the shrimp from the marinade. Press open the shrimp to flatten
and place a generous tablespoon of the stuffing onto the belly of each
shrimp.
-
Arrange the stuffed shrimp in the prepared baking dish and drizzle the reserved marinade over the shrimp.
-
Bake until the shrimp are opaque, about 10 minutes, and then remove the shrimp from the oven.
-
Heat the broiler. Broil the shrimp, 4 to 6 inches from the heat source,
until the stuffing is lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve immediately.
