BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP

Category: Fish and Seafood

12 jumbo shrimp shelled and deveined
3 tsp olive oil
1 cup coarse bread crumbs from day old bread
1 garlic clove, crushed through a press
1 tbsp finely chopped Italian parsley, fresh lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp grated lemon zest

Split the shrimp along the backs but not all the way through. Spray a baking pan with olive oil cooking spray. Arrange the shrimp on the pan.

Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring over medium low heat until the bread is golden. Add parsley, garlic and lemon zest; cook, stirring 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 450. Carefully pack the bread mixture into opening in each shrimp, dividing mixture evenly between all shrimp. Brush or drizzle each shrimp with the remaining oil. Bake until shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice before serving. Serves 4
