Baked & Delicious Stuffed Shrimp image

This is amazing, moist, delicious and a family favorite. We have it every year for Christmas dinner. Each of us eat a half dozen or more, so make lots! I have had a few questions about this recipe - so I have updated it! My mother suggests shrimp that comes 16 to 20 per pound. It really is delicious and hopefully the changes I made will improve it for everyone!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb extra-large shrimp (not the easy peel! 16-20 per lb)
3/4 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon tarragon
1 cup onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumb (soft, not dry)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Shell and devein shrimp, leave on tail.
  • In a 9 x 12 baking dish (this is what you will cook the shrimp in) combine the oil, garlic, salt, 1/4 cup butter and pepper.
  • Heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare stuffing: mix the basil, tarragon, onion, bread crumbs, 2 T. melted butter, 2 T. sour cream (I don't measure the sour cream too closely - add enough so the stuffing is fairly moist) and a pinch of salt.
  • Split shrimp and put a scant teaspoon of stuffing in each.
  • Lay in a single layer in the pan (that has oil, melted butter etc in it waiting for the shrimp!).
  • Baste with the liquid in the pan.
  • Enjoy!
  • Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes or so until the shrimp are done.
