Baked Stuffed Shrimp Imperial

Baked Stuffed Shrimp Imperial

Imperial Mayonnaise:

1 C. mayonnaise

1/2 t. Tabasco sauce

1/2 t. fresh lemon juice

1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce

1/2 t. Old Bay seasoning

Stuffing:

1 pound crab meat

1 C. Imperial Mayonnaise

1/4 C. bread crumbs

1/4 t. salt

1/4 C. finely chopped red pepper

4 t. finely chopped chives

16 jumbo shrimp, uncooked, shelled and deveined

2 T. butter

1/4 C. white wine

2 T. fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix first 5 ingredients to make Imperial Mayonnaise.

Mix all the stuffing ingredients with the Imperial Mayonnaise until well blended.

Split the shrimp in half lengthwise so the shrimp rests flat. Spoon the stuffing on top of each shrimp. Sprinkle with lemon juice and white wine. Dot with butter.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until stuffing is lightly browned (after 1/2 hour, ours still hadn’t browned so we served it anyway). Great with baked potatoes, salad or sourdough bread.

Serves 4 to 6 generously.
