Tips & Tricks (5)

Bacon Prep Perfection 🥓
Par-cook the bacon slightly before chopping and mixing into the stuffing to prevent it from becoming too crisp during the final baking process.
Shrimp Deveining Mastery 🍤
When deveining shrimp, use a small paring knife to make a shallow cut along the back and remove the dark vein for a cleaner, more professional presentation.
Breadcrumb Moisture Magic 🥣
Mix Panko breadcrumbs with a touch of olive oil before stuffing to create a golden, crispy topping that locks in moisture and adds incredible texture.
Aromatics Layering Technique 🧅
Sauté the onions, garlic, and red bell peppers together before adding to the stuffing to develop a deeper, more complex flavor profile.
Citrus Zest Enhancement 🍋
Grate some lemon zest into the stuffing mixture to amplify the citrus notes and add a bright, fresh dimension to the dish.
