"This dish is part of our family Christmas Eve celebration every year. I love baked stuffed shrimp, but so many restaurants here prepare their shrimp piled high with Ritz crackers drenched in butter. I think the crabmeat stuffing adds somethng a bit more special. Prep time includes the stuffing's cooling time."

  1. This is the EXACT same recipe I just read over on the Food Network site, Emerils Favorite Childhood recipe for baked stuffed shrimp. Word for word.

  2. I left the bell pepper out on this recipe and I added some garlic powder along with the fresh chopped garlic to my taste and everyone at the table was happy with it I'll make it again

  3. This may be a fine recipe but it is a nearly word-for-word ripoff (with no attribution) of Emeril's recipe found here: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emerils-childhood-favorite-crabmeat-stuffed-shrimp-3644379

  4. Adjusted this recipe for two. I just quartered everything on the ingredient list. Came out perfect! We loved it. After baking for 20, I turned the broiler on for a minute or two. I like things well done. Lump crab is expensive, so by quartering, I can freeze some of it and use it on another meal or two.

  5. Exact recipe of Emeril's off Food Network.

  1. I used no Old Bay or Cajun seasoning & I used red pepper since green can be so overpowering... I also used 2 large shallots instead of onion and only 1 tbls lemon juice 1/2 sleeve of ritz crackers and 4 tbls butter total...did not drain crabmeat... baked stuffing covered for 20 minutes then let it cool until ready for stuffing... Absolutely fabulous!!!!

  2. I add the worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce, and Old Bay Seasoning to the sauteed veggies during the last minute, then I pour it over the crabmeat so it can absorb all that wonderful flavor while it chills in the fridge. This is a fantastic recipe.

  3. Used Panko bread crumbs instead of crackers, what I had. Left out the parsley, didn't have any.
