Preparation

Step 1

Place corn bread stuffing mix in large bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet and saute onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic until tender, 10 minutes. In another skillet, fry minced gizzards in remaining 1 tablespoon oil 10 minutes. Add oysters, shrimp and crab meat and cook until shrimp is done, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add gizzard mixture to bowl along with reserved oyster and crab juice. Fill empty oyster jar with water twice and add to stuffing mix. Add more liquid if stuffing appears too dry. Blend sauteed vegetables, seasoned salt, pepper, green onions and parsley into stuffing mix. Return stuffing to skillet. Cook on low heat about 10 minutes, then return to baking pan and bake at 350°F until brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
