Crab Meat And Oyster Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Cook garlic and shallots in butter, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add clam juice and wine; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
• Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, pepper and whipping cream. Cook until thoroughly heated, about 10 minutes. Stir in oysters and crabmeat; cook just until edges of oysters curl. Serve with oyster crackers; sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Add rice mix with seasoning packet, water, and 1 tablespoon butter to a saucepan; bring to a boil; lower heat, cover and let simmer for 25 minutes or until rice is tender.
• In a large non-stick skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat.
• Add in the onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms; cook and saute for 8 minutes or until tender.
• Add in the crabmeat and oysters; stir and cook for 4 minutes.
• Add in the rice, soup, and remaining ingredients; stir to combine.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes or until heated. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Lay the cooked crab on its back and twist off the claws and legs. Crack the claws and legs using a heavy object - but don't allow the shell to shatter into very small pieces as it will be difficult to find. Carefully remove the meat using a lobster pick or teaspoon and put it into a bowl (preferably metal). Check for stray shell by shaking the bowl from time to time - shell fragments 'ping' against the side and can be removed. Put your thumbs on the base of the body, at the back of the crab, and push upwards to release it from the carapace.
• Pull away and discard the lungs ('dead man's fingers') found around the main body and inside of the carapace. Press the mouth so that it snaps away from the main shell and pull away the stomach sac. Cut the body in half and scoop out further white meat - it is worth taking time over this as there is a surprising amount in all the small cavities.
• Scoop out the brown meat from the carapace - the quantity and quality of this will depend on the time of year. If the crab has had its shell for some time, the brown meat will be plentiful. Some people like brown meat straight from the shell, others add seasoning, a little mustard and breadcrumbs, too. White meat is great just as it is.

Steps:

• Sauté garlic, onions, celery, and parsley. Set aside.
• Shred the crab meat.
• Prepare the stuffing mix as per instructions on the box but DO NOT COOK. In other words, just mix the water, butter, and stuffing mix together, without cooking it.
• Stir into the crab meat, add garlic powder, and mix until blended.
• Spoon into loaf pan treated with no-stick cooking spray (DO NOT PRESS).
• Brush lightly with butter, sprinkle with paprika, and bake covered in a 375°F oven for 45 minutes.
• Remove covering, add parmesan cheese, and continue to bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes to allow the top to brown.
• Serve as a side dish, the main dish, or a bed for Shrimp Scampi.

Steps:

Steps:

• Melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, celery crabmeat and shrimp; cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the stuffing, bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix in the vegetables and seafood from the skillet. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and as much of the chicken broth as you like. Spoon into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
