Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Spanish onion, diced
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
1 1/4 cups raw shrimp, chopped coarsely
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 tablespoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 tablespoons bread crumbs
1 tablespoon mustard
3/4 cup Romano cheese
3 eggs
3/4 cup crabmeat, claw recommended
1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped coarsely

Steps:

Heat oil and saute onions and peppers until soft. Add shrimp and cook until pink. Add cream, oregano, pepper, salt, bread crumbs and mustard. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cheese and add the remaining cheese to the mixture. Cook for 5 minutes. Whip eggs and fold into mixture. Add crabmeat and artichoke hearts; blend well. Remove from heat and allow to cool so mixture will thicken. If serving as a dip, ladle mixture into ovenproof casserole and sprinkle with remaining cheese, bake in oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes and serve with crackers.
