How To Make seafood stuffed bell peppers

Step 1

Cut tops off bell peppers and wash and remove seeds. Par boil for 10 minutes in large pot of salted water. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet melt the butter and saute the onions, chopped bell peppers, and celery and Italian sausage in the butter for 5 or 6 minutes. (until vegetables are tender) Add the garlic, parsley, shrimp, cajun seasoning and hot sauce and cook 4 or 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and add salt to taste if needed.
Step 3

Mix the breadcrumbs with 1 cup of the shredded cheese and add to the seafood mixture. Fold in the crabmeat gently to keep some of the lumps intact.
Step 4

Stuff the par boiled peppers with the mixture and place in a shallow baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
Step 5

Put about a cup of water in the bottom of the baking dish (enough to cover the bottom of the dish) and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
