-
6Using a melon baller or a tablespoon, generously “fill” each of the butterflied shrimp with the crab mixture
-
7Take a slice of the bacon and carefully “wrap” it around each stuffed shrimp, making sure it’s covered from end to end
-
8Arrange shrimp on the wire-racked pan and place in oven until cooked through, approximately 20 minutes.
-
9Remove pan from over and drizzle maple praline syrup lightly over the cooked shrimp
-
