With crabs in season in Cajun country, I can't resist eating them in as many ways as possible. Here's a fabulous recipe for one of my faves, Stuffed Crabs, and when I tell ya'll that this stuffing is out of this world, then you know that I mean it, cher! Also great for stuffing mushrooms, fish, and shrimp, and I even love to eat it plain! Ca' cest bon! Enjoy!
Spicy Cajun Stuffed Crabs
1 lb. lump crab meat
4 slices of bread, crusts removed
1 small can evaporated milk
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup each of "the trinity", (onions, bell peppers, and celery), diced
1/2 cup green onions, including tops, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp. dried thyme
2 or 3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 stick of butter
1 tbs. Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning, or Cajun seasoning
1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
Few shakes hot sauce
Crab shells
In large bowl, tear the bread slices into pieces. Add milk and stir and let soak while you saute the veggies. In large skillet, melt butter, add the trinity and saute for 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 5 more minutes.
Add the crab meat, green onions, Creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Saute on low for about 10 minutes. Add the soaked bread, breadcrumbs, parsley, and hot sauce and stir and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Fill the crab shells with the stuffing and dot with butter. Place on a baking pan and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Divinely delicious! Serve with my tangy hot seafood sauce, (recipe below), a big garden salad, hot French bread, and a nice glass of wine.
Tangy Hot Seafood Sauce
6 tbs.'s ketchup
2 tsp.'s horseradish
1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
Few shakes of Tabasco
Mix all together, chill for 1 hour, then serve with crabs.

A Cajun Waltz and a Two Step
Here's a little clip of a Cajun waltz, turned two-step, at the Gator by the Bay Festival, in May. The high spirited crowd was lovin' this band, and everyone passed a good time! Let the good times roll, cher!
