Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and immerse the cabbage head. After a few minutes the outer leaves will begin to soften and separate; as they do, remove them from the water with a wooden fork and drain in a colander. Continue cooking until all the leaves are loose, about 10 minutes. Rinse the cabbage leaves under cool water and drain.
- Cut the salmon fillet into eight strips, about one-half-inch wide and two inches long, and set aside.
- To make the mousse, combine the shrimp, Tabasco sauce, salt, pepper, ginger and egg yolk in the container of a food processor or blender and puree for five seconds. Add the egg whites and puree for about 45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth. Add one-half cup of the fish stock in a steady stream while pureeing and continue blending for another minute or so until the mousse is very smooth. (You can test the consistency by dropping a teaspoonful of the mousse into simmering, salted water and poaching for a minute. If the texture is too watery, add more shrimp; if too firm and tough, add more fish stock.) Stir in the scallions. There should be about two cups of filling.
- To assemble the cabbage packets, place three medium-sized cabbage leaves on a thin cotton cloth or on a double layer of cheesecloth in a circular pattern. The top edges of the leaves should overlap and the three stem sides should face away from the center. Cut out the tough white stem sections. Salt and pepper the cabbage generously. Place one-third cup of mousse in the center of each set of leaves and lay a strip of salmon over each mound of mousse.
- Carefully fold the cabbage leaves over the filling, overlapping them to form a complete seal. Lift the edges of the cloth to encircle the packet and very slowly twist the cloth, over a sink, exerting a gentle pressure on the cabbage packet. The pressure should be sufficient to squeeze liquid from the cabbage packet without breaking the leaves. Carefully open the cloth and set aside the packet, seal side down. Repeat to make a total of eight packets.
- To make the sauce, combine the butter, oil, shallots and onions in a pot over high heat and cook for a minute, stirring well. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for another minute, stirring occasionally.
- Gently place the cabbage packets in the pot, seal side down. Salt and pepper them generously, cover, and braise over medium-high heat for 10 minutes. To serve, place two cabbage packets on each of four plates and spoon some sauce around them.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325°. For the sauce, melt the butter in a cast iron pot over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Add the flour; whisking briskly until it is thoroughly incorporated. Let the mixture bubble for 1 minute, but don't let it darken. Add the shallot, thyme, and cayenne and continue to whisk as you stir in the seafood broth and wine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it thickens nicely. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate.
- 2. For the cabbage, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic and sweat until soft. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and mix in the shrimp, eggs, bread, milk, Tabasco, and celery salt. Carefully fold in the crabmeat, keeping the lumps intact. Cool the seafood filling while you blanch the cabbage leaves.
- 3. Bring a big pot of salted water to boil. Have a large bowl of ice water nearby to cool the leaves as they blanch. Add the cabbage leaves one at a time to the boiling water and blanch for 30 seconds. Transfer to the ice water, then quickly remove from the water and drain flat on towels.
- 4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the seafood mixture into the center of each cabbage leaf and roll up burrito-style. Pour the seafood sauce into the bottom of the cleaned cast iron pot. Carefully place each cabbage roll, seam-side down, snugly together over the sauce. There should be enough sauce to rise halfway up the sides of the rolls. Bake, covered, for 20-25 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook spinach in water until fully cooked. Cool and remove all excess water from spinach. Add diced onion & red pepper to a frying pan with pam and cook until softened. Boil shrimp, but make sure NOT to overcook them as they'll be cooking longer in the oven. In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, egg & seasonings until combined. Stir in mozzarella cheese. Place spinach, red peppers, onions, and cooked shrimp in bowl and chop until shrimp are in smaller pieces (you may want to just cut them up once they are cooked and skip this step). Mix all ingredients together gently. Place salmon on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and divide mixture evenly on top of individual filets. Cook salmon at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until done. Don't over cook as you don't want to dry out the salmon.

SHRIMP-STUFFED CABBAGE
Steps:
- Bring pot of water to a boil, and add salt. Meanwhile, remove enough outer leaves of cabbage to get 8 large, nearly perfect leaves. Use a paring knife to remove their thickest vein. Put leaves in boiling water until softened, a minute or so; remove, and drain on paper towels.
- Combine shrimp, garlic, parsley, bread crumbs, cayenne, half the oil and a large pinch of salt in food processor, and pulse until well minced but not puréed. Put portion of shrimp mixture on lower third of each leaf, fold in sides and roll up; don't overstuff, and don't roll too tightly.
- Put remaining oil in a skillet that can be covered and is large enough to accommodate cabbage rolls; turn heat to medium-high. Add onion, and stir occasionally, until it softens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and some salt and pepper, and stir occasionally until tomatoes break up, 5 to 10 minutes. Add cabbage rolls, and cover, adjusting the heat so the mixture simmers.
- Cook 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, until rolls are firm; taste sauce to adjust seasoning. Serve with some sauce spooned over and garnished with parsley.
