Garlic Shrimp and Crab

 

Ingredients:
1 lb. Lump crabmeat, picked through
1lb. 36/40 size shrimp, peeled
Paprika, as needed

Preheat oven to 375 F. Divide the crab evenly amongst the gratin dishes, followed by the shrimp. Dot the butter on top of the crab and shrimp. Sprinkle with the paprika. Bake in the oven until the shrimp is just cooked, and the tops are barely browned (8-10 mins ).
