SAVANNAH SEAFOOD STUFFING

Savannah Seafood Stuffing is full of shrimp and crab and lots of onion, celery, and red bell pepper. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about adding seafood to a casserole that makes it seem more special and elegant. This is always a much looked forward to side dish at Thanksgiving.
