Credit for this goes to Paula Deen but it is a family favourite

Ingredients

2 Tbs butter
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 -- 10¾ oz can cream of shrimp soup ( discard the top half and use only the bottom part of the soup)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 lb freshly grated parmesan cheese
6 oz can crabmeat, picked free of any broken shells, drained
6 oz fresh, canned or thawed frozen shrimp, drained
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder (my addition so it is optional)

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add pepper, onion and celery and saute for 2 minutes. Cool. In a bowl, combine the soup, mayonnaise, parmesan, crabmeat, shrimp, and pepper ( and garlic if using). Stir the sauteed vegetables into the seafood mixture and spoon this mixture into a lightly greased 8X11 inch casserole dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve with toast points or crackers.
