Ingredients

1 pound sausage
1 large sweet bell pepper chopped
1 each parsley leaves chopped
2 medium celery stalks cut up
1/2 cup butter
1 pound shrimp
2 3/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 package cornbread stuffing mix

Directions

In a large pot or Dutch oven (at least 6-quart), cook the sausage over medium heat until lightly-browned, breaking it up into small pieces.

Saute the vegetables in the sausage drippings in the pot with the cooked sausage.

The vegetables will brown lightly while the sausage gets browner than it was.

Add the butter to the pot and stir the pieces around until they are melted.

Add the shrimp and cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring constantly.

The shrimp should turn pink all over and be done, but just barely done.

Break one in half and make sure it is opaque in the center.

Turn the heat off, but leave the pot on the burner.

Add the 2 3/4 C water, the dried garlic and the cayenne pepper flakes; stir well.

Add both bags of stuffing mix to the liquid mixture.

Blend all ingredients together well.

Lightly spoon the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x14 inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes.

Florida Key Lime Pie

I just got back from the Keys where I had Key Lime Pie. I made this recipe when I got back. It was absolutely delicious! I made it slightly lower in fat by using fat free whipped cream from an aerosol can. It was still wonderful. The amount of lime juice was just perfect. Very fast and easy.

At least an hour of advanced preparation is required, to allow the dry ingredients to blend. This recipe will work well with other vegetables, shrimp, chicken strips, etc.
