Pappadeaux Stuffed Shrimp Recipe

These shrimp are stuffed with a delightful mix of crabmeat, cream cheese, and green onions then fried to perfection.
The crunchiness on the outside combined with the rich, savory filling makes each bite irresistible.
One key tip: make sure your oil is at 350°F to get that perfect golden brown crust.

Ingredients
  
  • 1 lb Crab Meat
  • 16-18 Colossal Shrimp
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Club Crackers crushed
  • 1 Scallion chopped

  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Lemon Pepper
  • 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Maggie Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 cup Oil for frying
Instructions
 
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the rack in the middle position.
  • Prepare the shrimp by lightly cutting down the back to remove the shell but keep the tails on.
  • Cut a little bit deeper to butterfly the shrimp, then rinse under water and remove the dark line that runs down the back.
  • Set them aside.
  • In a food processor, combine club crackers, scallion, red bell pepper, crab meat, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper, Old Bay Seasoning, Maggie sauce, and Dijon mustard.
  • Pulse until well combined, but leave it chunkier if you prefer.
  • Carefully stuff each shrimp with the prepared crab mixture.
  • In separate bowls, place flour and beaten eggs.
  • Coat stuffed shrimp in flour, dip in egg, then dredge with almond flour.
  • In a saucepan, preheat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Fry each shrimp until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve warm.
