Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish and set aside.
- Place the crabmeat in a large bowl and season with the Essence. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 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 to combine. Add the mayonnaise, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir gently with a large wooden spoon. Add 1 cup of the cracker crumbs, the salt, and pepper, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat.
- Mound about 2 tablespoons of the crabmeat stuffing into each shrimp, press gently to close, and place, stuffed sides up, in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the flaky, buttery cracker crumbs over the stuffed shrimp and drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
- While the shrimp are baking, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. Add the kale and saute until the kale is just wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the kale on 4 plates. Remove the shrimp from the oven and divide among plates, on top of the kale. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

SHRIMP AND CRAB STUFFING- FOR CHICKEN OR FISH
I've had this with skinless boneless chicken breasts and salmon, although I'm sure it has multiple other uses, such as stuffing whole fish or fish fillets. The whole stick of butter might not be necessary- the moistness of the stuffing depends on how much butter you use, so be sure to add it gradually.

SHRIMP AND CRAB STUFFED; OVEN FRIED CHICKEN
I love to cook, I hate to eat the same thing over and over! This recipe was born out of pure boredom ( the same way most of my recipes are born). It's super simple and really doesn't take that long. The picture serves it served with pasta and a marinara sauce, but I have served it with roasted potatoes and greenbeans as well. My family loves this dish and even my 4 year old asks me to cook it now. Hope you all enjoy it too.

- Carefully Prepare the Chicken: To ensure even cooking, use a sharp knife to make deep incisions in the chicken breasts, creating pockets for the stuffing.
- Season the Chicken Generously: Use a flavorful blend of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, to enhance the taste of the chicken.
- Make Sure the Stuffing is Well-Combined: Mix the shrimp, crab, bread crumbs, herbs, and seasonings thoroughly to create a cohesive and flavorful stuffing.
- Stuff the Chicken Carefully: Gently stuff the mixture into the incisions in the chicken breasts, taking care not to overstuff them.
- Properly Coat the Chicken: To achieve a crispy and golden-brown coating, first dip the chicken in beaten eggs, then roll it in seasoned bread crumbs.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken for the recommended time, or until cooked through and golden brown.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the chicken is cooked to perfection, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the Chicken Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
