ALL PURPOSE CRAB STUFFING

Use for stuffing shrimp or mussels. It would also make a very good stuffed flounder. I LOVE this recipe and I am proud of it! I made it up all by myself and it took me two years to perfect it.

Categories     Crab

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large green onion, white and green part minced and chopped
2 tablespoons roasted red peppers (or jarred minced pimentos)
1/2 lb crabmeat (I always use vacuum packed packaged and press it dry through a mesh strainer)
2/3 cup fresh breadcrumb (about 2 slices of white bread processed in your food processor)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/3 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's or Best brand)
4 tablespoons fresh parsley (minced very finely)
paprika, for lightly sprinkling

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
  • For stuffed shrimp -- butterfly them and put one tbsp of mixture on top and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Use the biggest shrimp you can find!
  • For mussels -- place one tbsp of mixture on top of mussels and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. (I buy a two pound frozen bag of New Zealand Mussels on the half shell from Fiesta Market. Just thaw -- top with some stuffing mixture and bake. Delicious!).
  • Makes enough for generously stuffing 20 large shrimp or 2 lbs of mussels on the half shell.
  • Sometimes I will drizzle melted butter over each stuffed mussel or shrimp but do so very very lightly. I will melt butter in the micro and then using a 1/8 tsp measuring spoon pour on each shrimp/mussel. Too much butter and it will become too rich.
  • Lightly sprinkle paprika over all.
  • I love this.
