- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute/fry the onion, tasso ham and 2 Tbsp. parsley for 3 to 5 min till fragrant. Combine cornbread crumbs with the sauteed ham mix in a large bowl. Add in chicken stock and blend to proportionately moisten. Gently mix in crab meat and remaining parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butterfly the shrimp by cutting almost all the way through the inside curl of the body. Open flat to resemble a butterfly shape and devein. Spoon 2 Tbsp. into the cavity of the shrimp, fold the tail over to hold the stuffing in place. Perch the shrimps on a lightly buttered baking dish, tail side up. Drizzle with some melted butter and bake 10 to 15 min. Serve on bed of greens with Roasted Tomato Aioli.
- Roasted Tomato Aioli: Begin with all ingredients at room temperature, they will emulsify more readily. In a food processor or possibly blender, process the yolks, salt, mustard, cayenne, lemon juice, garlic and saffron water. Add in the tomatoes and process again. With the motor running, add in a few drops of the oil, the mix will begin to thicken. Then, begin adding the remaining oil in a thin, steady stream. Scrape down the sides of the processor/blender. Check and adjust seasonings.
