• Place the crabmeat in a large bowl and season with the Essence. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 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 to combine. Add the mayonnaise, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir gently with a large wooden spoon. Add 1 cup of the cracker crumbs, the salt, and pepper, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat.
• Mound about 2 tablespoons of the crabmeat stuffing into each shrimp, press gently to close, and place, stuffed sides up, in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the flaky, buttery cracker crumbs over the stuffed shrimp and drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
• While the shrimp are baking, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. Add the kale and saute until the kale is just wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the kale on 4 plates. Remove the shrimp from the oven and divide among plates, on top of the kale. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
• 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!
• For mussels -- place one tbsp of mixture on top of mussels and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. (I buy a two pound frozen bag of New Zealand Mussels on the half shell from Fiesta Market. Just thaw -- top with some stuffing mixture and bake. Delicious!).
• Makes enough for generously stuffing 20 large shrimp or 2 lbs of mussels on the half shell.
• 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.
• Lightly sprinkle paprika over all.
• I love this.

Steps:

• Make cornbread according to the directions on the box.
• Crumble and season with Old Bay.
• Saute onion, celery, and garlic in butter & olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
• Mix the onion, celery, and garlic into the cornbread.
• Add the roasted red pepper (cut into cubes) to the cornbread mixture.
• Pour the fish stock into the cornbread mixture (add more if you wish).
• Add half of the melted butter to the mixture.
• Fold in the lump crab meat.
• Place in the oven on 350 for 30 minutes.
• Add your seasoned fish, shrimp, or scallops on top and brush with the reserved butter.
• Continue cooking for 15 minutes or until the seafood is done.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss bread with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and toasted, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add shallots, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Deglaze with wine, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon.
• Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Add mussels and cook, covered, until shells have opened, about 2 minutes. Remove mussels with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Once cool enough to handle, remove mussels from shells and return to broth (discard shells). Stir in parsley and adjust seasoning. In a large bowl, combine bread and broth, toss, and let stand 10 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to an oiled 2-quart baking dish and drizzle with oil. Cover with parchment-lined foil and bake 30 minutes; uncover and continue baking until top is golden and stuffing is firm, about 25 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking dish.
• Combine crab, poblano pepper, panko bread crumbs, green onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Stir mayonnaise, lemon zest, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
• Place sole fillets, flat-side up, on a work surface. Season fillets with salt. Divide crab mixture between fillets and roll filets up around filling. Place rolled sole in the prepared baking dish.
• Spread 1/2 the mayonnaise mixture over the sides and tops of each sole roll to coat. Place remaining 1/2 the mayonnaise mixture in a piping bag. Pipe mayonnaise mixture in a zigzag pattern over the top of each roll and sprinkle paprika over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned on top and fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
