ALL PURPOSE CRAB STUFFING



All Purpose Crab Stuffing image

Use for stuffing shrimp or mussels. It would also make a very good stuffed flounder. I LOVE this recipe and I am proud of it! I made it up all by myself and it took me two years to perfect it.

Categories     Crab

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large green onion, white and green part minced and chopped
2 tablespoons roasted red peppers (or jarred minced pimentos)
1/2 lb crabmeat (I always use vacuum packed packaged and press it dry through a mesh strainer)
2/3 cup fresh breadcrumb (about 2 slices of white bread processed in your food processor)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/3 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's or Best brand)
4 tablespoons fresh parsley (minced very finely)
paprika, for lightly sprinkling

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
  • For stuffed shrimp -- butterfly them and put one tbsp of mixture on top and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Use the biggest shrimp you can find!
  • For mussels -- place one tbsp of mixture on top of mussels and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. (I buy a two pound frozen bag of New Zealand Mussels on the half shell from Fiesta Market. Just thaw -- top with some stuffing mixture and bake. Delicious!).
  • Makes enough for generously stuffing 20 large shrimp or 2 lbs of mussels on the half shell.
  • Sometimes I will drizzle melted butter over each stuffed mussel or shrimp but do so very very lightly. I will melt butter in the micro and then using a 1/8 tsp measuring spoon pour on each shrimp/mussel. Too much butter and it will become too rich.
  • Lightly sprinkle paprika over all.
  • I love this.

SAVANNAH SEAFOOD STUFFING



Savannah Seafood Stuffing image

This is a seafood stuffing that has been in my family for a while. We have never actually stuffed the bird with this to avoid the turkey having a 'fishy' taste. We tend to like our dressing very moist, but if you prefer a drier stuffing, only use half of the broth.

MAINE SEAFOOD STUFFING



Maine Seafood Stuffing image

Emeril did some Thanksgiving stuffing recipes on Good Morning America, and this was one of the Top 5, that was submitted by Linda Hoglund from Franklin, ME. Linda says "It's a Maine seafood stuffing -- the best you've ever had! I grew up on the coast of Maine where seafood is plentiful. My husband, a lobster fisherman and scallop diver, came up with this some years ago. It's now a big favorite of ours, and we're glad to share with you. This stuffing can also be used to stuff clams, on top of crab cakes or on a pork chop -- it's all wicked good! We serve ours with a White Cream Sauce on top of the stuffing." This would be great to put over fish and baked too! I'm thinking flounder, filet of sole, and any other white fish. Times are only approximate. You can also substitute with lobster. You can make this in a 9x9" baking dish as well, and serve it with the White Cream Sauce on top. Cooking time does not include time cooked inside the bird.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: Fresh seafood has a better flavor and texture than frozen seafood. If you can, buy your seafood from a reputable fishmonger or seafood market.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices add flavor and depth to seafood stuffing. Some good options include parsley, thyme, sage, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make seafood stuffing. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors until you find a recipe that you love.

Conclusion:

Seafood stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses.
