Smoked Shrimp Stuffed with Crab

By: www.grillinwithdad.com 

1 lb. deveined shrimp

1 lb. lump crab meat

1 T all purpose rub

1 lemon

1/2 c mayonnaise

1/2 c breadcrumbs

1/2 c shredded pepper jack cheese

1/4 c parmesan cheese

1/4 c chopped parsley

Mix together the crab meat, mayo, chopped parsley, all purpose rub, breadcrumbs, shredded pepper jack cheese and the lemon juice (freshly squeezed). Mix all of this together, if you cook like me feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste - this is just a guide.

Take the shells off of the shrimp but leave the tail on, it makes for a great presentation/look. Also, where the shrimp was deveined you will want to cut that slice more so it will open up better, this is where you will stuff it.

Using just under 2 T of the crab meat you mixed up, form a ball and put onto the top oft he shrimp where you opened it up.

Place in a cast iron skillet and lightly sprinkle everything with more all purpose rub.

Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees with indirect heat.

Smoke for about 25 minutes, smoke until the shrimp is light pink.

Remove and put sprinkle shredded parmesan and chopped parsley on top. Also if you like lemon like I do you can put a light drizzle of lemon juice on them as well.
