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.

Type Of Stuffing Mix

I use a combination of herb seasoned stuffing mix and cornbread stuffing mix because I think it produces the best flavor. You could us all one or the other if you wish.

I don’t know about you, but my favorite part of Thanksgiving is the stuffing, or dressing as Southerners call it. I like to make at least 2 different kinds. A sausage dressing is a must, but I also like one with a little seafood.

The cornbread mix, shrimp and crab give this Savannah Seafood Stuffing a subtle sweetness that is so good.

I add Cajun seasoning for flavor and also a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup to help bind it and keep it moist.

Make Ahead

This Thanksgiving casserole can be assembled up to 8 hours in advance and baked just before serving. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
