Tips:

  • Choose large, firm green bell peppers for stuffing. Cut off the tops and reserve them for later use.
  • Parboil the bell peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes to soften them slightly. This will make them easier to stuff and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • When making the seafood stuffing, be sure to use cooked seafood. This will help prevent the stuffing from becoming watery.
  • Season the stuffing well with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Stuff the bell peppers loosely. This will allow the stuffing to expand as it cooks.
  • Top the stuffed bell peppers with the reserved pepper tops. This will help to keep the stuffing moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Bake the stuffed bell peppers in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the stuffing is cooked through.
  • Serve the stuffed bell peppers hot, with additional sauce or salsa if desired.
