Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and peppers. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted.
- Add the shrimp and season with salt and Old Bay (to taste). Sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and place mixture into a bowl. Gently stir in the crabmeat, then the bread crumbs a little at a time, adding more as needed to gently bind. Set aside to cool.
- Place equal amounts of filling onto each fillet and roll up. (alternatively, you can place one fillet on the baking sheet, place filling atop the fillet, then place another on top, off to the side, to resemble a pocket of stuffing).
- Place the fish on a baking dish (seam side down if rolled). Drizzle the fish with the butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Sprinkle top of fish with salt, black pepper and paprika.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until fish is cooked thru. Remove the fish from the oven and serve with lemon wedges.
CRABMEAT-STUFFED FLOUNDER ROULADES
Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using 1/2 tablespoon of the butter, grease a shallow baking dish and set aside.
- Place the crabmeat in a large bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of the Essence. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a medium skillet, melt the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley and the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Add the cooled vegetables to the crabmeat and toss gently to combine. Add the mayonnaise, beaten egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce and stir gently with a large wooden spoon. Add 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat.
- Season each fish fillet with 1/2 teaspoon of Essence and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and place the fillets skin side up on a work surface. Divide the crabmeat filling evenly among the centers of the fish fillets and, using your hands, roll the fillets up to encase the filling. Secure with a toothpick, if necessary. Place the fillets, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish and top with slices of lemon. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of the cracker crumbs evenly over the tops of the fillets. Drizzle with the melted butter. Using oven mitts or pot holders, place the baking dish in the oven and bake until lightly golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the baking dish from the oven and serve the fish using a metal spatula. Garnish with the remaining tablespoon of parsley and serve with additional lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately with Green Beans Almandine
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Trim the green beans by snapping the ends off. Place the water and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a medium, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Carefully add the beans and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the saucepan from the heat, and drain the beans in a colander set in the sink, pouring away from you. Rinse under cold running water and drain.
- Melt the butter in the same 3 1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the almonds, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring, until the almonds are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the drained green beans to the pan and cook, stirring, until well coated with sauce and warmed through, about 1 minute.
- Using an oven mitt or pot holder, remove from the heat and serve.

CRAB-STUFFED FLOUNDER
My boyfriend and I literally created this "by the seat of our pants." We just started tossing ingredients together as we went until we achieved the taste we were looking for. This is very good! We didn't measure anything as we threw ingredients into the mixing bowl, but I wrote down my measurement approximations because I knew this would be a repeat!

Tips:
- Make sure the flounder fillets are thin enough to roll. If they are too thick, they will be difficult to roll and will not cook evenly.
- To make the crab stuffing, use fresh crab meat. If you are using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Be careful not to overcook the flounder rolls. They should be cooked until the fish is just opaque in the center.
- Serve the flounder rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Crab-stuffed flounder rolls are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. They are easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making them a great option for busy weeknights. With their delicate flavor and beautiful presentation, crab-stuffed flounder rolls are sure to impress your guests.
