cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Saute green and red bell peppers in olive oil over medium-high heat, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper until softened, then set aside.

In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 egg.

Add crushed Ritz crackers to the mixture.

Fold in the cooked peppers and gently mix in real crab meat, being careful not to break it up.

Add fresh lemon juice to the mixture.

Butterfly the shrimp by cutting deep into the back but not all the way through, leaving the tails on.

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.

Stuff each shrimp with about one tablespoon of the crab filling using a scoop.

Brush the stuffed shrimp with melted butter and place in the oven.

Prepare the cream sauce by cooking garlic in oil until fragrant, then add heavy cream, cajun seasoning, and paprika, letting it thicken for a couple of minutes.
