Baked Clam-Stuffed Shrimp

Butterfly the shrimp by cutting along the length on the underside of the body, but don't cut all the way through. Just cut deep enough to fold the shrimp open for stuffing. Remove any veins if necessary.

Combine the cracker crumbs, butter, clams, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper, mixing well. Evenly stuff each of the shrimp with stuffing mixture.

Arrange the stuffed shrimp in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Pour the sherry into the bottom of the pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 18 minutes, or until the shrimp have turned pink. Transfer shrimp to serving platter, garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges for accompaniment, if desired.
