New Orleans Seafood Mirliton dressing
New Orleans native Charlie Andrews demonstrates on how to make Mirliton dressing with Shrimp, ham seasoning and crab meat in it. A Mirliton or Chayote is a vegetable belonging to the squash family. It goes by several other names depending on the region. It is also well known and popular in the New Orleans area. It is used to make stuffed Mirlitons or Mirliton dressing. It is very similar to how we make our stuffed bell peppers. We use the mirliton itself in place of the ground beef. It is also healthier as it has little meat in it. This recipe calls for 12 servings. Not only is this dish great for the holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas but it is absolutely delicious. Hope you all will give this recipe a try.
