  • Step 2

    Mix crushed round crackers, parsley, saltines, celery salt, and garlic together in a large bowl. Add scallops, crabmeat, melted butter, and cooking wine; mix stuffing well.

  • Step 3

    Place a shrimp on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

  • Step 4

    Stuff each shrimp with a heaping tablespoon of stuffing and place back-side up in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining shrimp and stuffing. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons water to the bottom of the baking dish to keep shrimp moist during baking.

  • Step 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are opaque and stuffing is beginning to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.

    • Cook's Note:

    Serve with melted butter or freshly squeezed lemon.
