Baked Stuffed Shrimp

These shrimp are simple to make; the most time-consuming activity is clarifying the butter.

Servings: 3 (2 shrimp each)

Fresh
6 jumbo shrimp
4 Tbsp. clarified butter, melted

Pantry
1 box (16 oz.) plain crackers, such as Toll House Original or Townhouse

Prepare shrimp
Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F. Peel, de-vein, and butterfly the shrimp and set aside.

Make topping
In a food processor or blender, pulse the crackers into a fine crumb. 30 crackers should yield approximately 1 cup of cracker crumbs. Mix cracker crumbs and clarified butter together in a small bowl using hands.
