large green onion, white and green part minced and chopped
2 tablespoons roasted red peppers (or jarred minced pimentos)
1⁄2 lb crabmeat (I always use vacuum packed packaged and press it dry through a mesh strainer)
2⁄3 cup fresh breadcrumb (about 2 slices of white bread processed in your food processor)
1 egg, beaten
1⁄2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1⁄3 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's or Best brand)
4 tablespoons fresh parsley (minced very finely)
paprika, for lightly sprinkling
1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
2. For stuffed shrimp -- butterfly them and put one tbsp of mixture on top and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Use the biggest shrimp you can find!
3. For mussels -- place one tbsp of mixture on top of mussels and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
4. Makes enough for generously stuffing 20 large shrimp or 2 lbs of mussels on the half shell.
5. Sometimes I will drizzle melted butter over each stuffed mussel or shrimp but do so very very lightly. I will melt butter in the micro and then using a 1/8 tsp measuring spoon pour on each shrimp/mussel. Too much butter and it will become too rich.
6. Lightly sprinkle paprika or Old Bay over all.
