Ingredients:
Colossal Shrimp-1 pound.
Bacon-4 strips.
Fresh Parsley-2 tablespoons.
Shallot-1 large finely chopped.
Liquid Smoke-5 drops.
White Wine- 1/2 cup.
Crab Meat-6 oz..
Corn Bread Stuffing-2 cups.
Butter-2 tablespoons.
Salt- 1/2 teaspoon.
Black Pepper- 1/4 teaspoon.
Chicken Stock- 1/2 cup.
Garlic-1 clove minced.
Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon.
Instructions-
Chop the bacon strips in to 1/2 inch slices. Place the bacon in to a fry
pan and cook . Do not make crisp. Add the shallots to the cooked bacon
and sauté for 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and the liquid smoke.
Continue cooking for a few minutes. Set aside. In a bowl combine the corn
bread stuffing, parsley, salt, pepper, white wine and chicken stock. Mix
until well combined.
Add the bacon mixture in to the corn bread mixture and mix thoroughly. Add in the crab meat. Gently toss. Clean and de-vein the shrimp. This is done by peeling off part of the shell leaving the tail intact. Make an slice on the back of the shrimp and remove the vein. Begin slicing near the arch of the shrimp. This will allow the shrimp to stand up on end after it is stuffed.
Grab a
small egg size amount of the stuffing. Place the stuffing in the arch of
the shrimp and squeeze it slightly on to the shrimp. Stand the stuffed
shrimp on end in a buttered pan. Line all the stuffed shrimp against one
another for support. Dot the shrimp with butter. Bake in a 400F. degree
oven for 14 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp and serve
