SAVANNAH SEAFOOD STUFFING
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
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.

MIRLITON AND SHRIMP DRESSING
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.

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!
