Ingredients
-
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled
1 5 oz can of crab meat or lobster
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 stick margarine or butter
8 bell peppers medium
1/2 cup onion chopped fine
1 tsp tomato paste
1/2 cup celery
1 cup cooked rice
Directions
Prepare the bell peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and core the center out. Fill with water a large dutch oven pot, and put the peppers in the water, then bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Remove the peppers (tongs work real good for this) and set aside. I chop the pepper tops and add to the sauted items.
Prepare the stuffing:Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the onion, celery and tomato paste. Cook until the onions are wilted; add the shrimp and cook for 6 minutes. Add the rice, lobster or fresh or canned crabmeat and season to taste. Mix well and fill the peppers with the stuffings. Cover with bread crumbs and either spray PAM or baste the bread crumbs with butter. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.
