Directions
The Lady and Son’s Crab-Stuffed Shrimp (Paula Deen), I am a Paula Deen Fanatic She is probably the only chef on Food Network I would fall down and worship at her feet I got the Christmas mag , Celebrates and Savannah Country Cooking (this one is SIGNED BY PAULA AND MICHAEL!) for Christmas I’m posting the recipes here that are in these cookbooks that are not already posted (the ones I want to try, anyway) because if I were to get something on these cookbooks or they got messed up in anyway, I’d have to commit suicide So enjoy right along with me!, Stupendously yummy The cream sauce is a great addition to lots of things You can use the stuffing to make regular crab cakes if you don’t want to stuff shrimp This is a great recipe for company!, I haven’t tried this recipe, but I was going to post it myself Rather than post a nearly identical recipe, I’m adding this for informational purposes: This recipe also appears on Food Networks website with slight changes, including recipe for (Recipe #202946) Other differences are 1/2 cup of diced onions in Basil Cream Sauce rather than 3 tablespoons as well as the addition of 1 teaspoon roux in Basil Cream Sauce Her recipe for roux is melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat Slowly add 1 cup all-purpose flour and stir until lightly browned Leftover roux can be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for several weeks
