Think crab cakes. Cooked and served in oyster shells, these are easy to make and fun to eat. I have a real problem containing myself around crab cakes, and these are no exception. Simple ingredients, nothing hides that great crab flavor. I really enjoyed my crabmeat stuffed oyster shells… except that I should’ve made more! This has quickly become a favorite in our house. They’re easy to make and delicious to boot! I was already a big crab addict. These just made that worse!
Fun Shells Make For Fun Food!
I used stainless steel reusable oyster shells, which have quickly become my go-to servers for seafood and well, just about anything I can fit into them. Even though they go onto a grill or in the oven, they cool off quickly so you can handle them. Just pick them up and slurp them down, just like you were eating oysters. Fun! It also means I can devour a whole bunch of these crabmeat stuffed oyster shells in no time!
I love anything with Old Bay Seasoning in it.
