How to Make Flounder Stuffed With Shrimp And Crabmeat

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large sauté pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Add 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning. Sauté for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Gently stir in 1 cup lump crabmeat and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, adding more breadcrumbs as needed to bind the mixture.
Set aside to cool completely.
Place approximately 1/4 cup of the stuffing onto each of 4 (6-ounce) flounder fillets. Roll up the fillets and secure with toothpicks.
Place the stuffed flounder in a greased baking dish.
Drizzle the fish with 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of paprika.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from oven, remove toothpicks, and serve immediately with lemon wedges, rice pilaf, and steamed vegetables.
