👩🏼🍳 Chef’s Tips
If you have one, a food processor is a great way to crush the Ritz crackers! You want the crumbs to be as fine as possible. If you don’t have a food processor, dumb the sleeve of crackers into a ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush the crackers. You’ll have to shake the bag around a couple times to crush every piece, but it’s a great, mess-free option! Jumbo-sized shrimp are essential in this recipe. The bigger the shrimp, the more filling you can use! If you’ve picked up frozen shrimp, allow them to thaw in the fridge before cooking. If you can only find smaller sized shrimp, just decrease the cook time accordingly.
