Helpful hints

Use fresh or frozen deveined, shelled shrimp with tails on to make this recipe extra quick. (16 to 20 per pound).
For a fancier presentation you can butterfly the shrimp, flatten and stuff then secure tail on top of stuffing with a toothpick.
For a lower protein diet decrease serving size to 2 shrimp (18 grams protein) or the amount that matches your meal plan.
One jumbo shrimp is about 1 to 1-1/2 ounces, headless and with shell. You can substitute 16 large shrimp and increase serving size to 4 pieces.
If fresh crab is unavailable, buy the lowest sodium frozen or canned crab.
