Ingredients:

8 oz lump crab meat
1 egg
1 lemon (for juice)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs (adjust as needed)
1 tbsp mayonnaise (preferably Cy Mayo)
Optional: 1 tbsp chopped parsley or cilantro
Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Blue Magic batter (or your preferred wet batter)
Oil for frying

Step-by-Step Instructions:

*1. Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture:*
Add 8 oz of lump crab meat to a mixing bowl.
Crack one egg into the bowl.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the mixture, ensuring no seeds get in.
Add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and 2-3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs.
If desired, mix in 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley or cilantro.
Gently combine the ingredients, being careful not to shred the crab meat.

*2. Prepare the Shrimp:*
Peel and devein the shrimp.
Make 4-5 shallow cuts along the back of each shrimp to keep them flat while cooking.
Press each shrimp down gently to flatten it further, creating a surface for the crab cake.

*3. Assemble the Stuffed Shrimp:*
Take a small portion of the crab cake mixture and place it on top of each flattened shrimp.
Press the mixture gently to ensure it adheres to the shrimp.

*4. Chill the Stuffed Shrimp:*
Place the stuffed shrimp on a tray and freeze them for about 30 minutes. This helps the crab mixture stay intact during frying.

*5. Coat in Batter:*
Prepare your wet batter (Blue Magic or your preferred choice).
Dip each stuffed shrimp into the batter, ensuring the crab mixture is coated while keeping the tail clean.

*6. Fry the Stuffed Shrimp:*
Heat oil in a deep fryer or pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the stuffed shrimp until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
Remove and place on a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.

*7. Serve:*
Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own.
