Looking for a Seafood Dish Idea for Thanksgiving

I made this Shrimp Scampi recipe for Friendsgiving once, and it was a huge hit. As they say at the top of the page, don’t skip the marinade step. That’s what makes it.



I’ve also done and would recommend:

Donald Link’s Shrimp Remoulade

Ruth’s Chris recipe Crab Cakes (with their remoulade sauce recipe)

Oyster dressing

Is she stuffing the mirlitons or making a casserole with them?

If stuffing individual ones, how about an eggplant/shrimp/cheese casserole.

I make a mean one:

Peel and dice the eggplant in small cubes
1 onion diced
3 pieces celery diced
8 cloves garlic minced
1 bunch green onions chopped fine
Parsley chopped fine to taste
Slap Ya Mama
Black Pepper
Shrimp stock
Olive oil
Italian Bread Crumbs
Parmesan Cheese
Mozzarella Cheese
Fresh shrimp
Seafood Seasoning

Boil fresh shrimp in seafood seasoning just long enough to firm them up and lightly cook them. Strain and set aside to cool. Once cool, cut the shrimp in small bitesize pieces. I use 16/20's and cut them in 3 pieces each.

To fix the eggplant:

Put olive oil in a pan, add onion and celery to start cooking for a couple minutes. Add cubed eggplant and shrimp stock and let this cook for several minutes. Then add garlic, Slap Ya Mama and pepper and let cook about 10 minutes and then add green onions and parsley. Continue cooking until the eggplants gets very tender.

Remove from stove and put mixture in a large bowl and add bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and cut up shrimp. I like it to be firm enough to hold together well when mixing.

In a greased casserole dish, pour the eggplant mixture and spread it evenly, sprinkle more parmesan on top of casserole, then add the mozzarella cheese on top of that.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until the cheese melts and lightly browns.
