CRAB-STUFFED BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
• Add the crab, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon zest and juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the steak sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a large bowl and stir until well combined.
• Cut a deep slit down the ridged back of each shrimp and open it up like a book. Put the shrimp on a baking sheet and press the tails down firmly so they lay flat. Top evenly with the crab mixture, then lay a piece of bacon across the crab mixture on each shrimp, tucking the ends under the shrimp and making sure they do not overlap.
• Broil until the bacon starts to crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon steak sauce and continue to broil until the bacon is dark golden and slightly charred in a few spots, about 2 minutes more depending on your broiler. Serve with lemon wedges.
