Crab Stuffed Shrimp

In promotion of their 15 meals under $15 menu, the Outback Steakhouse is sharing some of their recipes. I had the privilege of receiving their recipe for Crab Stuffed Shrimp. Our whole family is seafood lovers, so we were all very excited to try this recipe. 

To the crab stuffed shrimp we added some crusty bread, a salad, and called it a meal. It was quite delicious, though some members of the family preferred the shrimp solo, without the stuffing. There was stuffing left after the shrimp were prepared. We took that extra stuffing, rolled it into small balls and deep fried them. They were wonderful!

Below is the recipe:
