Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line your baking dish with foil, and butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the crabmeat in a large bowl and season with the Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

In frying pan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over med-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the parsley and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

Add the cooled vegetables to the crabmeat and toss to combine. Add the mayo, lemon juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir gently. Add 1 cup of cracker crumbs, salt and pepper to taste, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat.

Spoon the crabmeat stuffing evenly into each shrimp (about 2 tablespoons). Drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
