THE LADY AND SON'S CRAB-STUFFED SHRIMP (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• FOR THE SHRIMP:.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the green onions, green pepper, and garlic powder until the pepper is limp. Place in a mixing bowl and add the cream, mustard, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
• Add the cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
• Split the shrimp down the bottom center to the tail, being careful not to cut through the back. Stuff each shrimp with a small mound of the crabmeat mixture. Wrap the shrimp in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet and cook in the top third of the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 4 minutes to crisp the bacon.
• WHILE THE SHRIMP COOKS: BASIL CREAM SAUCE.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until light brown, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and reduce the sauce by half. Add the cream and bouillon and reduce by half again. Add the pesto, bring to a simmer, and heat until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
• To serve, arrange 4 shrimp on a plate and drizzle with Basil Sauce.

SHRIMP AND CRAB STUFFED FISH

Steps:

• Saute the onion, green pepper, and garlic in 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Remove from heat.
• Stir in the crabmeat, shrimp, breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Cut a slit in the middle of each fish fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through the fillet. Brush the cavity with 2 tbsp melted butter; spoon the reserved crabmeat stuffing evenly into the fish.
• Place fish in an shallow 3-quart baking dish that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray; cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Thinner fillets will require less time) Serve immediately.

STUFFED SALMON WITH SHRIMP AND CRAB

• Mix crab, shrimp, mushrooms, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, green onion, and bread crumbs together in a bowl.
• Shape 2/3 of the stuffing mixture into 2 large mounds on the prepared sheet pan. Spread open the fillets and place one over each mound. Fill in the top of the slits with remaining stuffing. Season each fillet with seafood seasoning.

• Stir crabmeat, shrimp, and crushed crackers into the vegetable filling mixture. Generously stuff each stemmed mushroom with filling mixture. Place mushrooms into the prepared casserole dishes.
• Combine melted butter, garlic, wine, and lemon juice for scampi sauce in small bowl. Pour 1/2 of the sauce over the mushrooms; reserve remaining sauce.
