THE LADY AND SON'S CRAB-STUFFED SHRIMP (PAULA DEEN)
I am a Paula Deen Fanatic. She is probably the only chef on Food Network I would fall down and worship at her feet. I got the Christmas mag., "Celebrates" and Savannah Country Cooking (this one is SIGNED BY PAULA AND MICHAEL!) for Christmas. I'm posting the recipes here that are in these cookbooks that are not already posted (the ones I want to try, anyway) because if I were to get something on these cookbooks or they got messed up in anyway, I'd have to commit suicide. So...enjoy right along with me!

Steps:
- FOR THE SHRIMP:.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the green onions, green pepper, and garlic powder until the pepper is limp. Place in a mixing bowl and add the cream, mustard, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Add the cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
- Split the shrimp down the bottom center to the tail, being careful not to cut through the back. Stuff each shrimp with a small mound of the crabmeat mixture. Wrap the shrimp in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet and cook in the top third of the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 4 minutes to crisp the bacon.
- WHILE THE SHRIMP COOKS: BASIL CREAM SAUCE.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until light brown, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and reduce the sauce by half. Add the cream and bouillon and reduce by half again. Add the pesto, bring to a simmer, and heat until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- To serve, arrange 4 shrimp on a plate and drizzle with Basil Sauce.

SHRIMP AND CRAB STUFFED FISH
The original recipe uses trout, but I really like it with a nice, firm white fish like grouper or snapper. The shrimp and crabmeat stuffing should hold together loosely. It calls for 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp fine, dry bread crumbs, but I couldn't get Zaar to take that. If necessary, you can add up to 1/2 cup additional fine, dry breadcrumbs to the stuffing mixture to achieve your desired consistency.

Steps:
- Saute the onion, green pepper, and garlic in 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the crabmeat, shrimp, breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cut a slit in the middle of each fish fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through the fillet. Brush the cavity with 2 tbsp melted butter; spoon the reserved crabmeat stuffing evenly into the fish.
- Place fish in an shallow 3-quart baking dish that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray; cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Thinner fillets will require less time) Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To make the tamales easier to wrap, soak the corn husks in warm water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Use fresh or frozen crab and shrimp for the filling. If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to cook the filling thoroughly before stuffing the tamales. Otherwise, the tamales may not be safe to eat.
- To prevent the tamales from sticking to the steamer, place a layer of corn husks on the bottom of the steamer basket.
- Steam the tamales for at least 1 hour, or until the filling is heated through and the tamales are cooked through.
Conclusion:
Crab n' shrimp stuffed tamales are a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are relatively easy to make, and they can be made ahead of time and frozen for later. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
