Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
1 pound catfish fillets
2 teaspoons water
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
2 packages (5.2 ounces each) garlic-herb cheese spread
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Dash paprika
1 can (6 ounces) crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed
1 can (6 ounces) small shrimp, rinsed and drained
Assorted fresh vegetables
Directions
Place catfish in a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish; drizzle with water. Cover and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Drain and discard cooking liquid. Using a fork, flake fish into small pieces; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and cheese spread until smooth. Add the onions, parsley, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and seasonings and mix well. Stir in the crab, shrimp and catfish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with vegetables.
