what you need

1/2

lb. large (about 10) shrimp, peeled, cleaned

Tbsp. KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing, divided

Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

small clove garlic, minced

Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

RITZ Crackers, crushed

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Place shrimp and 2 Tbsp. of the dressing in resealable plastic bag; refrigerate 10 min. to marinate. Meanwhile, mix remaining 1 Tbsp. dressing and the remaining ingredients in small bowl until blended.

REMOVE shrimp from marinade; discard marinade. Partially split each shrimp lengthwise by making a long cut along the underside of each shrimp, being careful to not cut all of the way through the shrimp. Open shrimp slightly and place, cut sides up, in shallow baking dish. Spoon about 1 Tbsp. of the stuffing mixture on top of each shrimp.

BAKE 7 to 8 min. or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Marinate and stuff the shrimp ahead, but do not bake. Cover and refrigerate up to 10 hours. When ready to serve, bake as directed, uncovered, for a delicious quick dinner.

Substitute

Substitute A.1. STEAKHOUSE Marinade for Seafood Roasted Garlic with Lemon for KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing.

I guess i used smaller shrimp than the recipe called for, I used medium. So instead of stuffing, I packed it on top. Not as pretty but tasted the same. i used extra cheese :p

This was very easy to make! My husband just loved it, and called it a keeper! I did put in a little less garlic than the recipe called for, we thought it was great tasting!! We will be having this again, and again!!!

A great and Easy Appetizer to make. I butterfly cut the shrimp, so the shrimp looks larger and put a dollap size of stuffing on top. It browned nicely. i didn't have parsley or parmesean cheese, so i substitued w/ cilantro and mozzarella. just as yummy. i am having a party for 20 next week. plan to make it again. Another thing, get the kids involved by having them crush the crackers in a ziploc bag, while you cut the shrimp and get the other ingredients ready. This is a fast, easy, and delicious appetizer.

I made this with the baked bruschetta chicken and my husband loved it! Peeling the shrimp and cleaning was easy. Instead of using the crackers I used bead crumbs.

Yummy! Kids loved it too. I put the stuffing ingredients in my mini cuisinart for even easier prep. Making them again today for party appetizers!

I used scallops instead of shirmp because I had them on hand. I just used the stuffing mixture as a topping and baked them in the oven. We loved them. Next time I will use shrimp, and I am sure they will be just as impressive. This is a simple recipe that makes the cook look really good.
