Steps:
- Dissolve gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water and let sit.
- Mix liquid crab boil (vary amount according to taste) with 1/4 cup water in small bowl. Soak seafood in crab boil mixture. (If using shrimp, cook until done first, then let soak.)
- Chop onions and pepper in food processor or blender. Slowly melt butter in skillet and sauté onion and pepper mixture until soft and onions are clear. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan used to cook the onions, add soup and cream cheese and melt over low heat until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Cream cheese burns easily, so stir constantly. Add dissolved gelatin and Worcestershire sauce to taste. The mixture will thicken as you stir. Turn off heat.
- Remove seafood from crab boil mixture, drain, and chop in food processor until smooth. Add to cream cheese mixture. Add onion mixture and mix well. Add Creole seasoning to taste.
- Pour in mold or shallow dish and refrigerate overnight or at least 3 hours, until thickened (it will set just like Jello).
- Release mold onto serving platter and garnish with cilantro. Serve.

Steps:
- Place the clam juice in a large bowl. Add the gelatin and stir until dissolved. Add the shrimp, cream cheese, onion, mayonnaise, celery, Worcestershire sauce, and Insane Salt to taste. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 1-quart mold and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. To serve, turn the mold out onto a platter. Garnish with parsley and paprika. Serve with crackers.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Seafood: Opt for high-quality, fresh seafood that is firm and has a mild, briny aroma. Avoid any seafood that has an off odor or slimy texture.
- Prepare the Mold: Lightly grease the mold with cooking spray or butter to prevent the seafood mixture from sticking. You can also line the mold with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Use a Variety of Seafood: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of seafood, such as shrimp, crab, and fish. This will add depth of flavor and texture to your mold.
- Don't Overcook the Seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will become tough and rubbery.
- Let the Mold Chill: After baking, let the mold chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the mold to set properly.

Seafood mold is a versatile and impressive dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its delicate flavors and elegant presentation, it is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give seafood mold a try. You won't be disappointed!
