STUFFED CRAB CLAWS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the chopped shrimp, bamboo shoots, salt, chicken bouillon powder, sugar, sesame oil, pepper, and cornstarch into a thick shrimp paste.
• Form the shrimp paste into 10 oval shaped balls. Open one end of the ball to stuff in the crab claw. Make sure the shrimp ball only covers the meat part of the claw and a small part of the shell so that the claw shell will stick out of the shrimp ball like a drumstick.

CRAB STUFFED CLAMS

Steps:

• 1. *NOTE: I use a boxed chicken flavor herb stuffing mix. (You may use your own favorite homemade herb stuffing, if preferred, but I wouldn't recommend using one that has fruit or sausage added.) Prepare stuffing according to package directions. When cooled, measure out 2 cups for the recipe. If doubling recipe, use entire amount (up to 4 cups) and extra shells to stuff. I have included two stuffing recipes which work well. See bonus recipes below.
• 2. Gather all ingredients; wash and dry clam shells.
• 3. Drain crab and reserve juice; set aside.
• 4. Place prepared herb stuffing in medium bowl.
• 5. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning.
• 6. Add drained crab and 4 teaspoons reserved crab juice.
• 7. Mix well, yet gently, so as to preserve the lumps of crab.
• 8. Spoon mixture into shells (packing slightly, but don't overfill.) Place each shell in a shallow baking dish or rimmed baking sheet,
• 9. Melt 1 tablespoon butter; brush melted butter over mixture in each shell.
• 10. **TIP: Stuffed shells may be covered and refrigerated (up to 1 day) before baking.
• 11. Preheat oven to 400ºF; bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on your oven.)
• 12. If desired, sprinkle each with a tiny pinch of Old Bay Seasoning and/or a pinch of fresh minced parsley or chives.
• 13. Cover and refrigerate leftovers. (Ha! Ha! Never had to do that!)
• 14. BONUS RECIPE # 1: Jame's Country Dressing 1/2 c butter 1/2 c chopped celery 1/2 c chopped onion 1 tsp dried sage (or 1 scant tablespoon finely minced fresh) 2 c well crumbled cooked cornbread 2 c well crumbled biscuits (not canned! homemade baking powder, buttermilk are best.) 1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley, flat leaf italian (or 1 teaspoon dried) 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 3/4 tsp poultry seasoning 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste) 1/2 c chicken broth or stock (more or less) fresh parsley for garnish (optional) Directions: 1 In a saute pan or skillet, over medium heat, saute celery and onion, in the butter, until almost tender. 2 Empty into a mixing bowl and lightly, but thoroughly, mix in both crumbs, parsley, pepper, poultry seasoning and salt. 3 Spoon broth over mixture and mix to desired consistency (spooning the broth gives more control for reaching the moistness you prefer; add more or less, as needed.) Taste for seasoning and adjust to your preference, if needed. 4 Use in recipes which call for prepared stuffing or place in a lightly buttered 8"x8" pan (or 9"x13" if doubling recipe.) Bake at 350 degrees F for 1/2 hr. to 45 minutes, depending on your oven.
