New England Baked Shrimp is one of my all time favorite things to eat. I had the pleasure of going to Hemenway’s in Providence, RI for dinner and Ellie’s New England Baked Shrimp were the best!
I meet Ellie who is the creator of the baked stuff shrimp that they serve at Hemenway’s which is what I had for dinner. A great meal that is so easy to make at home.
If the food was any fresher at Hemmingway’s it would of swam away on the plate. They informed me that the seafood is delivered every morning from yesterdays catch so it was in the ocean 1 day before serving.
The only other time I have had seafood this fresh is when you go on the docks and the fisherman are selling what they catch from that day. Anyone who’s from New England knows that seafood has a sweet taste when it’s fresh and the texture in your mouth melts into your taste buds.
The meal was super yummy and I could not help myself but ask for the recipe.
How To Prepare the Shrimp
- To prepare you shrimp run them under cold water.
- Then peel the shrimp.
- I always pull the tail off but they are served with tails at the restaurant.
- Make a small slice on the top of the vein and pull the vein out.
- Rinse and butterfly cut the shrimp and lay flat.
- Dry them off and sprinkle salt and pepper before you begin to stuff them.
Tip: If you can’t find fresh shrimp buy frozen that are wild-caught USA.

Thank you Hemenway’s for dessert that my mom could not get enough of when I brought home a piece for her to try. And thank you Ellie for this wonderful recipe that I made 4 times already and perfect every time!
Here is the recipe that she was kind enough to give me and share with all of you.
