Tips:
- Choose the right bell peppers: Look for bell peppers that are firm and have a deep, vibrant color. Avoid peppers that are soft or have blemishes.
- Prepare the bell peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Cook the filling thoroughly: Make sure the crawfish and shrimp are cooked through before stuffing the bell peppers. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings in the filling. Cajun seasoning, paprika, and garlic powder are all great options.
- Top the peppers with cheese: A layer of cheese on top of the filling will help to brown and crisp up the peppers in the oven.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed bell peppers are best served immediately after they are baked. This will help to prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.
