STUFFED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F and have ready a rimmed baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Then, working with one shrimp at a time, lay it back-side down (a.k.a. leg-side up). Use a paring knife to make a small incision down the shrimp, from the start of the tail, cutting toward the head of the shrimp. Continue doing this until the shrimp is butterflied and can lay flat. Do your best not to cut all the way through the body of the shrimp.
• Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl, drizzle with oil, sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper, and very gently toss to coat. Transfer to the baking sheet and set aside.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crab, parmesan cheese, plain breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, green onions, beaten egg, pimiento peppers, chopped parsley, Old Bay seasoning, lemon zest, and juice. Gently, fold the mixture together until well combined.
• Add tablespoon-sized spoonfuls of the crab mixture on top of each shrimp, and bring up the tail, tucking it gently into the stuffing.
• Bake for about 16-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are completely opaque and pink in color. Allow to cool slightly, serve and enjoy!

FLOUNDER STUFFED WITH SHRIMP AND CRABMEAT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and peppers. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted.
• Add the shrimp and season with salt and Old Bay (to taste). Sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and place mixture into a bowl. Gently stir in the crabmeat, then the bread crumbs a little at a time, adding more as needed to gently bind. Set aside to cool.
• Place equal amounts of filling onto each fillet and roll up. (alternatively, you can place one fillet on the baking sheet, place filling atop the fillet, then place another on top, off to the side, to resemble a pocket of stuffing).
• Place the fish on a baking dish (seam side down if rolled). Drizzle the fish with the butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Sprinkle top of fish with salt, black pepper and paprika.
• Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until fish is cooked thru. Remove the fish from the oven and serve with lemon wedges.

ALL PURPOSE CRAB STUFFING

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.
