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.

SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD



Shrimp Louie Salad image

The Louie salad is a California original that is usually served with shrimp or crab. My twist is to saute the shrimp, but you can also poach and chill them like the original. If using crab, just substitute cooked canned crab.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup olive oil mayonnaise
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish

2 hearts romaine lettuce, washed and torn
2 ripe Roma tomatoes, cut into 6 wedges
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1 ripe avocado, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the salad: To make medium-boiled eggs, put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath. Remove the shells once cool and quarter each egg lengthwise.

MIRLITON AND SHRIMP DRESSING



Mirliton and Shrimp Dressing image

Mirlitons, our local squash, are also know as chayote. Any variety of fall squash may be substituted. Diced day-old bread is the best to use for these kinds of dressings; bread crumbs will make the dressing too dry. Mirliton dressing is too loose for a stuffing, so it's always served as a side dish.

Categories     side-dish

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 mirlitons, halved and seeded
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced

1-2 dashes Tabasco
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the mirlitons with oil. Place them on a baking sheet cut side down and bake until they are fork tender and easily peeled, about 45 minutes. Set the mirlitons aside to let rest until they are cool enough to handle, then peel and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Increase heat to medium-high, add the fresh herbs and shrimp, and stir frequently, until shrimp are just cooked , 3-5 minutes. Stir in the crabmeat. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the diced mirlitons and the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.

QUICK AND EASY CRABMEAT DRESSING



Quick and Easy Crabmeat Dressing image

This is great for a dressing, stuffing, as a bed for Shrimp Scampi, or by itself. You can buy those little crab shells to stuff and broil, mold it into a loaf pan and bake, or use it to dress any main meat entree. This is a recipe from my wife's mother's collection.

Provided by Pagan

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 sliceable loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces seasoned stuffing mix, instant, cornbread flavored
8 ounces crabmeat, imitation-fresh whichever you prefer
1 garlic clove, fresh, sliced paper thin
1 large onion, diced
1/3 cup celery, chopped
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 dash paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups water, whatever is called for in the stuffing directions
1/4 cup margarine, whatever is called for in the stuffing directions
1 dash cooking spray

Steps:

  • Sauté garlic, onions, celery, and parsley. Set aside.
  • Shred the crab meat.
  • Prepare the stuffing mix as per instructions on the box but DO NOT COOK. In other words, just mix the water, butter, and stuffing mix together, without cooking it.
  • Stir into the crab meat, add garlic powder, and mix until blended.
  • Spoon into loaf pan treated with no-stick cooking spray (DO NOT PRESS).
  • Brush lightly with butter, sprinkle with paprika, and bake covered in a 375°F oven for 45 minutes.
  • Remove covering, add parmesan cheese, and continue to bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes to allow the top to brown.
  • Serve as a side dish, the main dish, or a bed for Shrimp Scampi.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Choose Fresh Seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your dressing will taste. Look for seafood that is firm and has a briny smell. Avoid any seafood that looks slimy or has an off odor.
  • Cook the Seafood Properly: Be careful not to overcook the seafood, as this will make it tough and rubbery. Cook the seafood until it is just opaque in the center.
  • Use a Good Quality Bread: The bread you use for your dressing will make a big difference in the flavor and texture. Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the moisture of the seafood and dressing. A French baguette or cornbread are both good options.
  • Don't Be Afraid to Experiment: There are endless variations on crab and shrimp dressing, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You can add vegetables, herbs, spices, or even different types of seafood.

Conclusion:

Crab and shrimp dressing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover seafood. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious crab and shrimp dressing that will impress your family and friends. So next time you have some leftover seafood, give this recipe a try!
