Shrimp and Crab Salad

I know I promised I would blog about the rice krispies but they didn't turn out the way I'd like because they kept falling apart on me so I will tweak the recipe and hopefully next time it will work. But I did make a delicious meal tonight that I'd like to share with you.
Shrimp and Crab Salad
20 medium shrimp (8 ounces) tails removed and sliced in half
1 can crab meat
3 tablespoons mayo
1 small onion diced
1 celery stalk diced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
3 splashes of Worcestershire sauce
3 splashes texas pete
Cajun Seasoning
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Marinate shrimp with 1-2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning. (I left mine in the fridge for a few hours while the shrimp defrosted) Saute onion and celery in olive oil on medium heat (season with a little salt and pepper), add butter crab meat and marinated shrimp. Cook until warmed through. Put in a separate bowl and add mayo, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce and texas pete. We put this on hoagie rolls and broiled in oven until bread was toasted. I topped with tomato and Todd ate his plain. I think this would be a great appetizer served with crackers. You could also slice baguettes and top with the mixture. Endless possibilities! Hope you enjoy!
No pictures because we ate it all up so quickly!
