Howdy,
I came across U8 shrimp at my local wholesaler, WOW, these things are huge and at only 8 to the pound, I immediately thought "I need to stuff these babies..." just 2 or 3 would be a meal.
So, I'm thinking, I can butterfly them and try to place and hold some sort of stuffing in that huge void but it will inevitably fall apart when cooking and/or serving, defeating my efforts!
I could butterfly them then, try to stuff and wrap with bacon - yeah, this'll work well!
Then I though, "I'm on to something here..." so now I'm thinking of some sort of seafood filling with shallots, maybe some crab and a few other items, that I can then pipe into a loosely bacon wrapped butterflied shrimp. I'm thinking I can use a small tube to hold the void open while wrapping and then fill - Now, this is starting to sound good!
Any other suggestions as to what I could do with them? (Be nice now.)
Or any suggestions as to the filling ingredients?
