Good recipe for stuffed bell peppers?!
I want a recipe for stuffed bell peppers, but I don't want it to include ground beef. I'm Catholic and during lent we don't eat meat on Fridays other than seafood...so I'm hoping for a recipe that contains shrimp and crab.
I know some recipes you can just substitute the ground beef, but I would like one that is specifically made for the seafood because I know there are some ingredients that will play up the seafood that you wouldn't usually put in with ground beef
Thanks for your help...I'm hungry. LoL

Seafood Stuffed Peppers
2 large red bell peppers, seeded
2 large yellow bell peppers, seeded
4 Tbsp. butter
1 large onion, diced fine
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 lb. Cooked shrimp, minced
1 Tbsp. flour
3 Tbsp. tomato sauce
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
6 oz. crabmeat
2 cups cooked rice
salt and pepper to taste
Cut off the tops of the peppers. Blanch in lots of boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Remove to an ice bath to stop cooking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion and celery for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, flour, tomato sauce, Tabasco, salt and pepper and stir well over low heat, simmering for 10 minutes.
Stir rice and crabmeat into mixture. Stuff the peppers with the mixture and place in a glass baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated throughout.
well I am Catholic too.
I make mine just like I would with Ground Beef except I add the crab and bread crumbs and rice.
they are so good.
good luck
I don't have a recipe for this exactly, but I sometimes make bell pepper stuffed with canned salmon, mashed potatoes and cheese. I know this doesn't have crab or shrimp but it's another option.
I slice the pepper horizontally. Parboil them in a skillet or just nuke them for a few minutes.
I saute a little onion in a skillet and add some frozen chopped spinach. About 1 1/2 cups.
Put a little canned salmon in the bottom of each pepper. (drained and deboned).
Put a little onion and spinach mix over that.
Fill the rest with prepared mashed potatoes.
Sprinkle some cheddar cheese on the top. Cover. Bake at 350 until heated through and the peppers are tender.
