| INSTRUCTIONS |
| In
heavy pan saute onions, celery, garlic in the butter
over medium heat. When vegetables are soft add shrimp,
crab, egg, parsley and egg mixture to the vegetables.
Slice each flounder on the dark side down the middle.
Slice toward the sides making a pocket under the
meat large enough to place the seafood stuffing.
Season the stuffing to taste, and fill the pocket
leaving a mound on top. Place in pan with 1 1/2
cups of dry white wine. This will keep flounder
moist , and keep from sticking. It also helps to
rub butter on bottom of the pan. Sprinkle Paprika
on top and bake for 25 minutes at 375 in oven. |
