Shrimp and crab meat. It’s definitely a match made in heaven! While both do well on their own, together it is culinary heaven. The crab meat stuffing I use for this is the same recipe I use for my Crab Cakes. Exactly the same. I think that says it all.

6 slices uncooked bacon
1 lb. lump crabmeat
1 egg beaten
2 T mayonaise

3/4 cup crushed Ritz crackers
1/2 t salt
1/4 t white pepper
