If I want to REALLY impress, this is a party appetizer that always works! Need romance? Serve a couple with Filet Mignon for Surf-n-Turf - it doesn't get much better than this! Ingredients:
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
soft breadcrumbs, equal to a hamburger bun |
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 teaspoon mrs. dash seasoning mix |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 lb lump crabmeat (best available) |
1 lb med to large shrimp (royal reds are best) |
parmesan cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Peel shrimp leaving tails and slice down middle deveining as you go.
2. Lay on greased cookie sheet to form a circle with the tail pointing up.
3. (Fan the tail out for beauty and handle) Mix first 7 ingredients and gently fold into crabmeat.
4. Place a spoonful of crabmeat mixture on top of the circle.
5. Top with fresh parmesan (optional) Place cookie sheet in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, remove with spatula to serving tray, Serve immediately.
6. Also, try stuffing mushrooms which only take 10-15 minutes in the oven, same temp.
7. To prepare for a party, prepare trays, cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator, then just place in oven when ready and serve in 15 minutes!
8. Having medium shrimp saves money and makes more of a finger-food size.
9. I've made extra and frozen some to be used as side dishes.
10. If you can't get seafood where you live, you can order all supplies from a seafood place in Florida- Joe Patti's Seafood online.
11. Even mid-westerners can enjoy a special fresh seafood treat.
