    3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
    3 Tbsp unsalted butter
    1/2 lb. scallops (chopped), or lump crabmeat, picked over

    4. Mound about 2 tablespoons stuffing onto each shrimp, pressing gently, and put shrimp, stuffed sides up, in prepared baking dish. Melt butter and drizzle over shrimp. Sprinkle shrimp with paprika and bake 20 minutes, or until stuffing is golden. Garnish shrimp with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
