Crab & Shrimp in a Light Red Sauce. Delicious!!
My pregnant daughter wanted Crab & Shrimp Sauce, I had to make it for her, we don't want to "Mark the Baby". "Mark the Baby" is a Cajun folklore that if the expectant mother does not get what she craves to eat; that hunger craving pain will transfer itself to a physical birthmark on the baby. Another popular wives tale is that if a mother-to-be has signifcant heartburn the baby will be born with a full head of hair. |

| Ingredients |
| 2 pounds clean de-veined shrimp |
12 to 16 sm/med cleaned crabs...the ones not worth boiling |
| 2 cans Rotel tomatoes (I used the Wal-Mart Brand ) |
2 cans Cream of Shrimp |
| 2 cups onion blend (A combination of chopped onion, bell pepper and celery) |
1 stick (8 Tblsp) butter /margarine |
| Tony's Seasoning to taste |
Garlic Powder to taste |
| 1 cup green onions scallions |
| |
| | | Directions | Start by sautéing your onions in butter or oil, season to taste in a Dutch Oven/Magnalite Pot. Drain Rotel tomatoes (tomatoes with chilies) saving the juice and add to sautéed onions, sprinkle with garlic powder and cook them down for about 15 min on medium heat. Add shrimp to mixture and sauté' until pink. Add Rotel juice gradually, stirring and monitoring texture.
In the meantime, between stirring your sauté, make sure your crabs are clean (no pieces of lungs, legs, mud, etc...)
Add 2 cans of Cream of Shrimp and 1 can of water, stir until mixed well then add the crabs. One-by-one place them along the edge of your pot with their lil claws toward the middle. Spoon some sauce into the center of each crab body and cover the pot. Let them cook on low-med heat for about 25 min.
Sprinkle chopped green onions over sauce and stir lightly, cover for 5 min then ready to serve. Recommended Sides Rice, Potato Salad & Dinner Rolls. Umm!!
