- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 lb lump crabmeat (best available)
- 1 lb med to large shrimp (Royal Reds are best)
- parmesan cheese (optional)

1
Peel shrimp leaving tails and slice down middle deveining as you go.2
Lay on greased cookie sheet to form a circle with the tail pointing up.3
(Fan the tail out for beauty and handle) Mix first 7 ingredients and gently fold into crabmeat.4
Place a spoonful of crabmeat mixture on top of the circle.5
Top with fresh parmesan (optional) Place cookie sheet in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, remove with spatula to serving tray, Serve immediately.6
Also, try stuffing mushrooms which only take 10-15 minutes in the oven, same temp.7
To prepare for a party, prepare trays, cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator, then just place in oven when ready and serve in 15 minutes!8
Having medium shrimp saves money and makes more of a finger-food size.9
I've made extra and frozen some to be used as side dishes.10
If you can't get seafood where you live, you can order all supplies from a seafood place in Florida- Joe Patti's Seafood online.11
Even mid-westerners can enjoy a special fresh seafood treat.

Made as a "casserole" type meal, as I just had little shrimps. SO GOOD!

I partially cooked bacon in microwave, cut in half, and wrapped around each shrimp. Secured it with a toothpick soaked in water and then grilled them. My husband raved about this recipe.

This is not only a delicious recipe the presentation is fabulous! You have a lovely after flavor left in your mouth from the combination of ingredients. I arranged the prawns with their tails sitting up just as you suggested and it really made an attractive appetizer. I agree that medium prawns are best. I put on the parmesan cheese and it gave a golden finish. Next time I will arrange the prawns in circles of three, one person servings) and put a spoonful of crab in the center of each 3 group. I can not get fresh crab but I bought canned crab chunks - You need the chunks - I suppose you could use artificial but for this recipe I like REAL crab - This is a special appetizer for special people Thanks Laurita for an elegant, very delicious appetizer 5 star all the way

Fabulous appetizer!! This is so easy to prepare and makes for a beautiful presentation, my guests devoured them and asked for the recipe. The next time I make them, (and there WILL be a next time) I'm going to stuff both shrimp and mushrooms. Thank you so much Laurita, for sharing this recipe.
