My wife and I grew up in New England. While dating in college, for special occasions, and when we had the money, we would go out to eat and get our favorite, surf and turf; fillet mignon and baked stuffed shrimp. It is a rather simple recipe but elevates shrimp to the next level. For a more decadent recipe You can try my wife’s Crab Stuffed Shrimp which is great.

Steps

10 minutes

1

Prepare shrimp. Peel off shrimp shells but leave on the tail portion. Devein the shrimp and then make a cut along the underside of the body in order to splay the shrimp. Rinse and dry shrimp.
2

Add oil and butter to a skillet. Add onion and cook on low heat until soft, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and mix for 30 seconds.
3

Add bread crumbs to skillet and mix. Off heat add lemon juice, chicken broth, and parsley.
4

Place shrimp in a shallow oven safe pan with tails up. Make a meatball size ball of the stuffing and place on each shrimp pushing down to cover the shrimp body. Pour in chicken broth so there is a slight liquid level. If you want extra stuffing you can make it and place it in the middle of the pan. Place shrimp in a 350°F oven. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Shrimp should be opaque at 110 to 120°F.
5

Plate the shrimp, serve and enjoy. As I mentioned in the description it pairs great with a fillet mignon.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
