It will be a big scale down this year as I will be getting home late from work, so hubby and I will feast on a couple of baked stuffed lobsters cousin Nick will prepare for us, and if we can manage to stay awake after dinner we will head to Midnight Mass.

The baked stuffed lobsters sound GREAT !!! Truly a feast to enjoy.
Below is a recipe for a very simple stuffed shrimp which is good anytime of year..........not just on Christmas Eve.

1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic (minced)

Salt & pepper to taste
Preparation
Clean and devein the shrimp.
Coat a 13 x 9 pan with a cooking spray.
Cut the backs of the shrimp, but do not go all the way through.
In a separate bowl mix cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic.
Take the shrimp and dip them into the mixture.
Place them into the pan.
Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the shrimp is pink.
