Categories     Milk/Cream     Blender     Food Processor     Mushroom     Shellfish     Buffet     Cream Cheese     Crab     Shrimp     Spice     Spring     Chill

Yield Makes about 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 envelopes plain gelatin
1/2 cup cold water plus additional 1/4 cup
1/2 to 1 tablespoon liquid crab boil
1 pound lump crabmeat or small shrimp (sometimes called salad shrimp; it's okay to use frozen), or 1/2 pound crabmeat and 1/2 pound shrimp, vary to personal preference
1/2 small yellow or white onion
1 green onion
1/4 red bell pepper
4 ounces butter
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (like Tony Chacherie's)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 8-ounce package cream cheese (not low- or nonfat, as the mixture will be too watery)
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Cilantro, for garnish
Special Equipment
blender or food processor; medium-size mold (approximately 6 cups) or shallow dish

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.

CRAB /SHRIMP DIP OR MOLD



Crab /Shrimp Dip or Mold image

This is a recipe that my sister, Garnet has made for years. It is really good and tasty and can be easily changed from a spoonable dip to a molded salad. Cooking time is chilling time. I decided to add a note here to encourage others to try this wonderful recipe. I recently hosted a wedding shower for my future DIL. I added 2 envelopes of Knox gelatin dissolved in about 1/4 cup of water so that the consistency would be good on Crescent Rolls for sandwiches. It was the hit of the party. Everyone loved it.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality crab meat and shrimp. Fresh or frozen crab meat and shrimp will give your mold the best flavor. If using frozen seafood, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your mold color, flavor, and texture. Some good options include celery, onion, green bell pepper, and carrots.
  • Season the mold well. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste. Old Bay seasoning is a classic choice for crab and shrimp dishes.
  • Let the mold chill before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Crab and shrimp mold is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you are looking for a seafood dish to impress your friends and family, give crab and shrimp mold a try.
