Maine Baked Stuffed Shrimp

Submitted by Mimi in Maine

"You are probably thinking, "How in the world can you stuff a Maine shrimp?" Actually, you can't stuff them like you stuff the big ones. Maine shrimp are small, tender, and sweet, and they are delicious cooked this way. The stuffing is on top."

This was a great recipe! thank you!. My husband and made this with raw maine shrimp and it needed to cook a little longer. Also, when we make it again (tonight) I will use less butter. This is really rich and I think it could feed at least three people, possibly four. Thank you for sharing it.

This was good! The only thing I did different was reduced the amount of onions. I think next time I would use crackers instead of breadcrumbs. Thank you for sharing!
