Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 36

1/2 pound fresh lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1 1/2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1/4 cup minced yellow onion
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons minced green bell pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 (6 to 8-ounce) flounder fillets, skinless, pin bones removed
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon Emeril's Hot Sauce or other red hot sauce
3/4 cup crushed butter crackers (recommended: Ritz)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, 1 cut into thin slices and 1 cut into wedges for serving
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, for drizzling over the fish
Green Beans Almandine, recipe follows
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 pound green beans
5 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 (2 1/4-ounce) package sliced almonds
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using 1/2 tablespoon of the butter, grease a shallow baking dish and set aside.
  • Place the crabmeat in a large bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of the Essence. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a medium skillet, melt the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of 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 gently to combine. Add the mayonnaise, beaten egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce and stir gently with a large wooden spoon. Add 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat.
  • Season each fish fillet with 1/2 teaspoon of Essence and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and place the fillets skin side up on a work surface. Divide the crabmeat filling evenly among the centers of the fish fillets and, using your hands, roll the fillets up to encase the filling. Secure with a toothpick, if necessary. Place the fillets, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish and top with slices of lemon. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of the cracker crumbs evenly over the tops of the fillets. Drizzle with the melted butter. Using oven mitts or pot holders, place the baking dish in the oven and bake until lightly golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the baking dish from the oven and serve the fish using a metal spatula. Garnish with the remaining tablespoon of parsley and serve with additional lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately with Green Beans Almandine
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Trim the green beans by snapping the ends off. Place the water and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a medium, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Carefully add the beans and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the saucepan from the heat, and drain the beans in a colander set in the sink, pouring away from you. Rinse under cold running water and drain.
  • Melt the butter in the same 3 1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the almonds, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring, until the almonds are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the drained green beans to the pan and cook, stirring, until well coated with sauce and warmed through, about 1 minute.
  • Using an oven mitt or pot holder, remove from the heat and serve.

Categories     Appetizers & Snacks

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. cocktail sauce
1 (8 oz.) package imitation crabmeat, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 to 2 c. chopped)
1/2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/3 c. chopped green onion
4 (8-inch or 10-inch) flour tortillas
1/8 tsp. salt
pinch black pepper

Steps:

  • Place softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl; stir with a fork. Add cocktail sauce, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork until well blended.
  • Stir in Montery Jack cheese, crabmeat, and green onion.
  • Spread 1/4 of the mixture (about 1/2 cup) onto each tortilla, making an even layer that covers the tortilla completely.
  • Roll up each tortilla tightly. Wrap each tortilla roll in plastic wrap and refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
  • At serving time, cut each tortilla roll into 10-12 slices.
  • I find using a sawing motion with a serrated knife makes the nicest, cleanest cuts.
  • You can also use the filling as a spread on crackers instead of making tortilla roll-ups, if you'd like.

IMITATION CRABMEAT TORTILLA ROLLUPS



Imitation Crabmeat Tortilla Rollups image

I don't know where I got this recipe, but I know it wasn't on this site, 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere. I've made them before (and they're yummy) so I knew I must have it written down somewhere. Luckily, I found it and am posting it here for safe-keeping. You can use any type of seafood you desire, just be sure to finely dice it, and enjoy. BTW, Prep time doesn't include chilling time, and the 1/2 cup of seafood cocktail sauce at the end of the ingredient list is optional for dipping.

  • Note: I microwave my tortilla shells (one at a time) for about 15 seconds, before I spread the mix on them.That makes the shells much easier to roll.
