1 pound Florida shrimp, peeled, deveined, and butterflied
½ pound Florida blue crab, picked over for shells
⅓ cup panko
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning blend
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped fine
Oil for cooking
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
In a small bowl, combine panko, mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper. Gently fold in crab, making sure not to break up any large pieces. Using a tablespoon or small scoop, roll small balls of crab mixture. Place stuffing on top of shrimp and gently press shrimp tail over to hold in place.
Heat oil in large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Place flat side down and stand upright in pan (as shown in finished picture) and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Place lid (or tin foil) over pan and finish cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning and serve immediately.
