All Purpose Crab Stuffing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 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

Preparation

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\u00b0F 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.
