How to Make Sausage And Shrimp Cornbread Stuffing Casserole

  1. **Make the Cornbread:** Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or 9-inch baking dish).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together: 1 ½ cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup sugar, 4 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, ½ cup melted butter, and 1 cup buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into the hot skillet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. Cool completely, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Bake cubes on a baking sheet at 350°F (177°C) for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside or freeze.
  6. **Prepare the Stuffing:** Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Butter a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  7. Melt 4 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium yellow onion (chopped), 1 jalapeño pepper (minced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 1 tsp cumin. Sauté until onions are tender.
  8. Add 1 lb uncooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 lb Italian sausage (removed from casings and chopped), ½ cup green onions (chopped), and 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen). Cook, stirring constantly, until shrimp turns pink.
  9. Remove from heat. Stir in ½ cup chopped cilantro, ½ cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp seasoned salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.
  10. Gently fold in the cooled cornbread cubes.
  11. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
