  • 1 Pone of Cornbread recipe follows
  • 2- 3.7 ounce Canned Smoked Oysters drained and chopped
  • 8 ounce Crab Claw Meat picked
  • 1 Onion diced
  • ½ cup Celery finely diced
  • 32 ounces Chicken Stock

Cornbread

  • 3 cups Self Rising Cornmeal
  • cups Chicken Stock
  • 2 Eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Seafood Cornbread Dressing
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
  • Cut cornbread into cubes and transfer to a large mixing bowl then add the chopped smoked oysters, crabmeat, onion, celery, chicken stock, cream of shrimp soup, beaten eggs and seasonings; stir to combine.
  • Transfer the dressing mixture to a rectangle baking dish (I used a 10x14), place into the oven and bake for 1 hour or until golden brown and set as desired.

Skillet Cornbread Recipe

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C)
  • Place a cast iron skillet in the oven as it preheats while you make the cornbread batter.
  • In a medium mixing bowl; add the cornmeal, chicken stock and eggs then mix to combine.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using pot holders and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Once melted, pour in the cornbread batter then bake 25 minutes, or until golden brown. (see notes)

Make cornbread the day before and refrigerate overnight if desired.
