Dear Friend, looking for another Recipe, Have you ever heard of know
of a Appetizer, called :(I think) Victorian Shrimp at Work?
it is chopped shrimp in bread crumbs and maybe cheese (not sure) and
stuffed into those small 4 to 6 inch long, yellow mild peppers?
Thank you so very much for any help.
Bob
Hi Bob,
I could not find anything with that name. Below are the shrimp-stuffed
peppers recipes that I did find.
Phaed
Shrimp-stuffed Peppers
6 green or yellow bell peppers
6 slices bacon
1 cup minced onion
3 stalks celery, minced
3/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, shelled, deveined, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups fresh bread crumbs
Cut off the top third of each pepper, discard stems, and mince the tops.
Discard the seeds and the ribs from the pepper shells.
In a kettle of boiling salted water, cook the peppers for 8 minutes and
transfer them, cut side down, to a rack to drain.
In a skillet cook bacon over moderate heat until crisp; drain and crumble.
Pour off all but 4 tablespoons fat; in it cook the minced pepper, onion,
celery, parsley and garlic, stirring, until pepper is softened. Add wine
and shrimp. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, until shrimp are just firm. Transfer the
mixture to a bowl and combine it with bacon and breadcrumbs.
Stuff pepper shells with the shrimp mixture, place them in a baking dish
with 1/2 inch hot water. Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 375 degrees F. Serves 6.

Shrimp Stuffed Poblanos
Ingredients
8 ounces queso fresco*
1 cup whole kernel corn
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup chopped cooked shrimp
1/2 cup (2 ounces) Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
12 poblano peppers, (approximately 2 to 3 ounces each), roasted and peeled
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons butter, melted
4 eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 cup flour
Directions
Combine queso fresco and corn in processor; process just until corn is no
longer visible. Transfer cheese mixture to large bowl. Add rice, shrimp,
Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, onion, sour cream, and salt. Set
aside. Cut a small slit in one side of each poblano pepper and carefully
remove seeds; leaving stems in tact. Pat peppers dry. Stuff each pepper
with approximately 1/4 cup of shrimp mixture. Secure with a wooden pick
if necessary. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and butter in medium
bowl; stir until well blended. Set aside. Beat eggs with water in medium
bowl. Roll stuffed peppers in flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat with
bread crumb mixture. Place in shallow baking dish allowing a little space
between each pepper; bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes or until golden brown
and thoroughly heated. Serve immediately.
Makes 6 servings.
* Substitute a mixture of 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup feta cheese
for the queso fresco if desired.

Shrimp Stuffed Chilies Rellenos
4 pabloma peppers
1 small pkg pre-cooked salad shrimp
4 cloves garlic
2 limes
1 box instant batter mix
3 cups grated cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 can pickled jalapenos
1 can green chilies
vegetable oil
1 white onion
First you want to get the peppers ready. Broil peppers on rack of a
broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from heat, turning
every 5 minutes, 15 to 20 minutes, or until skins are blistered and c
harred. Remove from oven and let cool, then peel off charred skin leaving
peppers whole. Cut a slit down the side so you can stuff them.
Get the stuffin’ ready. Sauté the shrimp with a glove of minced garlic in
a little oil. You can add some spices like cumin or garlic salt if you like.
You could use any meat or sautéed vegetable in place of shrimp.
The Sauce goes like this. Sauté your 3 cloves of garlic, chopped up onion
and can of jalapenos in some oil. Stir over heat until onions are clear.
Add all of this plus the juice of 2 limes, sour cream and can of green
chilies to blender and puree until smooth.
Make your box of batter in a big bowl. At this point stuff equal parts
shrimp and cheese inside by now cooled peppers. Heat oil in a fairly deep
1 to 2 inches) skillet. Coat stuffed peppers with batter and add to frying
pan 2 at a time. Turn constantly until browned then remove and lay on plates.
After all 4 peppers are deep fried, drizzle with creamy green sauce and
sprinkle with a little cheese and serve!

Hi Donna and Mark,
I found one and only one recipe. See below.
Phaed
Cheese Crowns
Prep: 40 min; Bake: 22 min
Makes 12 servings
1 1/2 packages (17 1/4-ounce size) frozen puff pastry (3 sheets), thawed
1/4 cup firm stick margarine or butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla
berries for garnish if desired (I'm using blueberries and strawberries, the
picture in the cookbook shows blueberries and raspberries)
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease bottoms and sides of 12 jumbo
muffin cups, 3 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches, or 6-ounce custard cups with
shortening
2. Place 1 sheet of cold puff pastry on lightly floured surface.
Cut into 4 squares. Press each square gently into muffin cup, pulling
the 4 corners up and out of cup. Press corneres down on muffin pan.
Repeat with remaining sheets of pastry.
3. Mix flour, pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Cut
margarine into flour, pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle
1 heaping tablespoon of the pecan mixture over the bottom of pastry
in each cup
4. Beat cream cheese and sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer on
high speed about 2 minutes or until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
Beat in vanilla. Pour about 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture over pecan
mixture in each cup.
5. Bake 15 minutes.
6. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake 5 to 7 minutes longer
or until pastry is golden brown. Cool 15 minutes in pan on wire rack.
Gently remove from pan. Refrigerate uncovered about 1 hour or until
chilled; cover and continue refrigerating no longer than 48 hours.
Refrigerate any remaining crowns. Garnish with berries if desired.
======================================================================
I noticed your recipe for Cheese Crowns isn't like the ones that are made at Grote bakery.
I came up with my own version of it:
Cheese Crowns aka Maeve
Pastry Puff Crust
12 oz Unsalted Butter
12 oz or so Flour
Pinch o' salt
2/3 very cold water
sift flour into cut up pieces of butter using pastry scraper or something along those lines.
Add water to help it hold together, keep working it (like you would a pie crust).
Form a rectangular shape about 1/4 to 1/8 thick. Put on wax paper and set aside (I chilled mine over night)
Strudel Filling
1/2 stick unsalted butter
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar.
1 cup flour
Melt butter (I microwave mine on defrost for a few minutes so it isn't too hot).
Mix with cinnamon, sugar and vanilla until it is mixed well,
add flour 1/2 cup at a time until it is evenly mixed and can clump if you press it together.
Cream Cheese Filling
2 8-oz packages of cream cheese
2 eggs
1 cup of sugar
Mix in electric mixer until good and creamy, not runny
Heat oven to 375° F
spray non stick spay into 2 1 dozen cupcake pans.
roll out pasty puff on waxed paper to about 1/8 to 1/4" thick, cut into 2.5 to 3 inch
squares. Line cupcake pan, ends will stick out, flatten down, but don't let it touch
the next one.
Add 1 tbsp strudel into each crown shape, then spoon cream cheese filling on top.
The cup cake pan should be full.
Bake at 375 for 7 minutes, check often and let cook more until crust is golden
brown and cheese filling slightly browns.
Icing
2 egg whites
confectioner's sugar
lemon juice
Beat egg whites slightly and add confection's sugar 1 cut at a time until it reaches
desired consistency. Add a touch of lemon juice to it and beat some more.
When crowns have cooked and cooled, add icing.
Enjoy.

Hello Morgana,
All of the jelly donut recipes I have found that use bread flour are below.
There are some that use all-purpose flour here:

3 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour
1/2 cup sugarr
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup jelly or strawberry jam (see below)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups canola oil
Dissolve yeast in 1 1/2 cup warm water. Do not mix, allow to stand
for 5 minutes. Mix in 1 cup flour then sugar and salt. Mix in
remaining flour until you have a smooth, non-sticky dough. Knead
on lightly floured surface. Place in lightly oiled bowl, cover with
plastic wrap and let rise until dough is doubled in warm, turned off
oven (about 2 hours).
Turn out dough onto floured surface. Cut dough into 12 round shapes.
Shape with floured hand and place on lightly floured non-stick surface.
Let rise 20 minutes. While dough is rising heat oil in large pot to
375 degrees.
When donuts double in size, drop them one at a time into the hot oil.
Do not crowd pan. Cook donuts for 3 minutes per side. Turn and brown

Slice green leaves and stem off strawberries. Place strawberries into
a large bowl. Pour sugar water over top and cover tightly with saran
wrap. Let stay for 3 days at room temperature. This will bring the
natural pectins out of the fruit.
Pour strawberries and liquid into a large 12" Teflon, non-stick pan.
Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thick. Pour

Heart Shaped Jelly Donuts
Recipe courtesy Gale Gand
3 to 3 1/2 cups bread flour, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
1 (6/10 ounce) cake fresh yeast or 1 (1/4 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup lukewarm milk
2 eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup strawberry or raspberry jam
Confectioners' sugar
Equipment:
A deep-frying thermometer
A 2-inch heart shaped cutter
2 cookie sheets
A pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain tip
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine 3 cups of the
flour and the salt. Combine the yeast, sugar, and milk in a small bowl
and let "proof" (foam up) for 5 minutes. Add the proofed yeast mixture
to the flour. Add the eggs and butter and mix at low speed until the
dough comes together and is soft, but not sticky. If the dough does
seem sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each
addition, until a soft dough forms.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for
1 minute, until smooth and elastic. Return the dough to the mixing bowl
and cover with plastic wrap (or transfer to a clean oiled bowl and cover
with plastic wrap). Let rise in a warm spot (such as an oven that is not
on) until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours. (The recipe can be made up to
this point and refrigerated after the kneading up to 1 day in advance.
The dough will rise slowly in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature
before proceeding.)
Turn on the mixer for a few seconds to punch down the dough, or punch it
down in the bowl with your fist. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface
and knead a few times. Roll the dough out 1-inch thick, letting it "rest"
a few times during the rolling (if you handle the dough too much, the
natural gluten will tighten up and make your donuts tough).
Lightly flour 2 cookie sheets. Using a well-floured cutter, cut out hearts
of dough, transferring them to the cookie sheets as you work, spacing them
2 inches apart. Reroll the scraps and cut out more disks to use up the
dough. Cover lightly with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm spot
until doubled in bulk, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour 3 inches of vegetable oil into a deep, heavy pot and heat
it to 350 degrees F. Lay out a thick layer of paper towels or brown paper
bags for draining the fried donuts. Spoon the raspberry jam into your
pastry bag. Working in batches of 6 or 7, transfer the risen donuts to the
hot oil and fry until golden and puffed, turning frequently, about 5 to 7
minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the hot donuts to the paper to
drain. When cool enough to handle, poke the tip of your pastry bag into
the center of each donut hole (entering from the side). Squeeze in a little
jam. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve as soon as possible.
