BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP WITH RITZ CRACKERS®



Baked Stuffed Shrimp with Ritz Crackers® image

My late mother created this recipe over thirty years ago. My grandparents, my father, and myself have enjoyed these baked stuffed shrimp every other Friday for many years. It's a tradition - we eat baked stuffed shrimp for dinner and then play cards! (We've been leaving out the scallops lately due to the high price, and we don't even miss them.) We serve the shrimp with a nice garden salad and rice pilaf or baked potato.

BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP WITH CRABMEAT STUFFING



Baked Stuffed Shrimp with Crabmeat Stuffing image

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.
