Honey Baked Ham Stuffed Shrimp

start the party right

The rich flavor of the Honey Baked Ham, combined with the mild flavor of the shrimp act as a great complement to one another.

People are used to eating shrimp at cocktail parties, but it is rare to be served a stuffed shrimp. Give these a shot. It doesn’t take too much extra effort, and the results will definitely pay off. For other fun ways to serve shrimp try Shrimp with Henry Bain Sauce and Shrimp and Grits.

cooking information

• Yield: 15 Individual Shrimp
• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cooking Time: 8 minutes

all ingredients

• 1 Pound Shrimp, de-veined and de-shelled
• 2 Cups Honey Baked Ham
• 1 Cup Lemon Juice
• 2 Teaspoons Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Pepper
• 1 Bottle Honey Baked Honey Mustard Sauce

recipe instruction

1. Clean your shrimp by de-shelling and de-veining. Once cleaned, take a paring knife (smallest knife in a drawer) and move the knife down the spine of the shrimp to separate it, while keeping the two sides still intact.

2. Once your shrimp in prepped, place in a mixing bowl with lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

3. In the meantime, add your ham to a food processor and pulse until it is a fine texture.

4. Once the 15-20 minutes have passed, drain your shrimp, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and begin stuffing your shrimp. You'll want to take approximately 1 tablespoon of the ham and form it to the spine of the shrimp. Lay the shrimp on its side on the cookie sheet and let rest.

5. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place your cookie sheet with shrimp in the oven for 5 minutes and then check them. If your shrimp have changed color and are now firm, they are finished. If they are not, let cook another 3 minutes and check.

6. Place the cooked shrimp on a serving platter and drizzle with your favorite honey mustard. In my opinion, HoneyBaked Ham has the best honey mustard sauce.

7. Serve and enjoy.
