      Title: CATHE'S CAJUN STUFFING
 Categories: Entrees, Holiday, Cathe
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      1 lb Jimmy Dean sage sausage
      1 lg Bell pepper, chopped
           -into 1/4" to 1/2" pieces
           Green onions (large bunch),
           -cut into 1/4" thick pieces
           Parsley (1/3 bunch), fresh,
           -chopped finely
      2 md Celery stalks, cut
           -lengthwise into 3 sticks,
           -then cut into pieces
           -1/4" thick
    1/2 c  Butter
      1 lb Shrimp, peeled and
           -de-veined, but not cooked
  2 3/4 c  Water
      1 ts Garlic flakes (dried)
    1/4 ts Cayenne pepper flakes
           -(crushed), or more to
           -taste (we use about 1 T)
      1 pk Pepperidge Farm Cornbread
           -stuffing mix (cellophane
           -bag, brown-labelled)
      1 pk Pepperidge Farm Herb
           -Stuffing Mix (cellophane
           -bag, blue-labelled)
 
  In a large pot or Dutch oven (at least 6-quart),cook the sausage over
  medium heat until lightly-browned, breaking it up into small pieces.
  Saute the vegetables in the sausage drippings in the pot with the
  cooked sausage. The vegetables will brown lightly while the sausage
  gets browner than it was. Add the butter to the pot and stir the
  pieces around until they are melted.
  
  Add the shrimp and cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring constantly. The
  shrimp should turn pink all over and be done, but just barely done.
  Break one in half and make sure it is opaque in the center. Turn the
  heat off, but leave the pot on the burner. Add the 2 3/4 C water, the
  dried garlic and the cayenne pepper flakes; stir well.
  
  Add both bags of stuffing mix to the liquid mixture. Blend all
  ingredients together well.  Lightly spoon the stuffing mixture into a
  greased 9" x 14" pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Serve at
  once (with Burgundy mushroom gravy, if desired).
