I have had this dish in many fish restaurants and none come close to this version. This recipe is very special and very yummy! Thanks for posting Carol!

Celebrated my mother-in-laws 82nd birthday with family with this recipe. It really is the best crabmeat stuffing recipe any of us ever had. I used U-5 shrimp (2 1/2 lbs) and doubled the stuffing recipe. I only changed two things - cooking time to 30 minutes to accomodate the larger shrimp and used only the two stalks of celery. All guests are making this their #1 baked stuffed shrimp recipe.!!!
