Prepare shrimp
- Butterfly the shrimp by running a knife along their backs, making sure not to cut all the way through.

Make Crab Stuffing
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix the Ritz crackers, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika.
- Once combined, gently fold in your crab meat.
- Scoop the crab stuffing onto the shrimp, then place the shrimp bottom side down in an oven-safe skillet, ensuring the shrimp tails rest over the crab mixture.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
Make Garlic Butter
- While the shrimp are cooking, combine the butter, garlic, and parsley in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments until the butter is completely melted.
- Brush the garlic butter over the shrimp and enjoy!
