Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large shrimp, fresh or frozen
2 tablespoon(s) green onion, sliced
1 tablespoon(s) butter
1 teaspoon(s) lemon juice
1 dash(es) hot pepper sauce
5.5 ounce(s) canned crab meat, drained, flaked, cartilage removed
2 tablespoon(s) fine dried bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Thaw large shrimp, if fozen.
  • To shell fresh or thawed shrimp, open each shell lengthwise down the body.
  • Hold the shrimp in one hand and carefully peel back the shell starting with the head end.
  • Gently pull on the tail portion of the shell to remove the entire shell.
  • Butterfly shrimp by cutting down the back almost but not all the way through; remove vein.
  • Repeat with remaining shrimp and set aside.
  • In a small nonmetal bowl, micro-cook sliced green onion and the butter or margarine, uncovered, on 100% power for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until the green onion is tender.
  • Stir in lemon juice and bottled hot pepper sauce.
  • Toss with the flaked crab meat and fine dry bread crumbs.
  • Spread shrimp open and place, cut side up, in two 10-ounce oval casseroles.
  • Cover with vented clear plastic wrap.
  • Micro-cook, covered, on 100% power for 1 1/2 minutes, rotating the casseroles a half-turn once.
  • Drain off liquid and rearrange shrimp, placing the least-cooked portions to the outside of the casseroles.
  • Spoon crab mixture over shrimp.
  • Micro-cook, covered, on 100% power about 2 1/2 minutes or until shrimp are done and crab mixture is heated through, rotating the casseroles a half-turn once.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.
