Baked Stuffed Shrimp with Seafood Herb Stuffing

Benefits:
Shrimp and crab are packed with selenium and zinc to promote skin renewal and elasticity. Omega-3s in seafood reduce inflammation and support a healthy lipid barrier. Lemon juice brightens the skin with vitamin C, while fresh herbs like parsley and dill detox and nourish from the inside out.

Skin Concern: Loss of firmness, dullness, irritated or aging skin

Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Serves: 2

Ingredients:
For the Shrimp:

  • 6 large jumbo shrimp, peeled and butterflied (tails on)

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • Pinch of sea salt and pepper

For the Seafood Stuffing:

  • 1/4 cup lump crab meat (or finely chopped scallops or white fish)

  • 1/4 cup almond flour or crushed gluten-free crackers

  • 1 tbsp avocado mayo or Greek yogurt

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped red bell pepper

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/2 tsp chopped fresh dill or thyme

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional: pinch of paprika or cayenne for warmth

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a small baking dish.
  • To make the stuffing, mix all ingredients in a bowl until just combined.
  • Arrange butterflied shrimp in the baking dish, cut side up. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the seafood stuffing onto each shrimp, pressing gently to mound it.
  • Drizzle or brush the shrimp with olive oil. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque and stuffing is golden.
  • Serve with a squeeze of lemon and optional garnish of microgreens or extra herbs.

Shopping Tips:

  • Shrimp: Choose wild-caught jumbo shrimp—look for fresh or frozen with no added preservatives.

  • Crab: Real lump crab meat (not imitation) offers more nutrients and better texture.

  • Herbs: Fresh parsley and dill offer natural detoxifying and anti-inflammatory benefits—skip dried here.

Cooking Tips:

  • Make the stuffing ahead and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

  • Add a touch of lemon zest to the stuffing for extra brightness.

  • Serve with sautéed spinach or roasted asparagus for a complete, glow-boosting meal.

This elegant entrée feels indulgent but works overtime to support glowing, firm, radiant skin. It's perfect for a celebratory dinner or anytime your skin needs a boost.
