Print Recipe

Delicious bell peppers stuffed with a savory mixture of crab, shrimp, vegetables, and seasonings, baked to perfection with a crispy topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 bell peppers
  • 2 lb shrimp, boiled, peeled, and roughly chopped
  • 8 oz crab meat
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 can cream of shrimp soup
  • 1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Italian seasoning, to taste
  • Cajun seasoning, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the shrimp, let cool, peel, and roughly chop.
  2. Halve the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Scald in boiling water for 3-5 minutes depending on desired texture.
  3. Sauté onions until soft, add garlic, Cajun seasoning, and Italian herbs. Deglaze with white wine and reduce slightly.
  4. Add lemon juice and butter to the sautéed mixture.
  5. Stir in cream of shrimp soup and cream of mushroom soup.
  6. Add green onions, parsley, shrimp, crab meat, and panko breadcrumbs. Fold gently to combine without breaking up the crab meat.
  7. Stuff the mixture into the pre-cooked bell peppers.
  8. Top each stuffed pepper with grated Parmesan and additional panko breadcrumbs.
  9. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then broil until the tops are browned.
  10. Optional: Serve with Beurre Blanc sauce.

Notes

Do not overmix the stuffing to keep the crab meat intact. Scalding the peppers softens them without losing their shape. The optional Beurre Blanc sauce adds a rich, buttery finish but is not necessary.
