It’s the stuffing that makes this special!  And who would know more about perfect seafood stuffing than Gulf Coast resident Mary from Deep South Dish?

Stuffed Eggplant

If you’ve never visited Deep South Dish, you don’t know what you’ve been missing!  Truly the greatest selection of good old-fashioned southern cooking on the net!

Not only will you find the basics, but many many recipes using some of the finest Gulf Coast seafood.  The stuffing recipe for this eggplant can also be used to stuff flounder, shrimp and many other forms of seafood.  Not for nothing, this stuffing is a meal in itself, and Mary whole-heartedly agrees there!

I eat this for a main course, but you can also buy very small eggplants and use it as a side or an appetizer. And this stuffing is every bit as good without the shrimp or crab, so it can be totally meatless and eliminating the cheese and using coconut oil or vegan butter for saute will make it vegan!

This is so tasty, it is sure to become a family favorite!
