Cosmic Crab Salad with Corn Chips

The Stir Crazy Supper Club may be based in Indianapolis, but living far from the coast hardly dampens their love for good seafood. Here's their menu of coastal-inspired recipes that can be made anywhere, starting with this all-time favorite crab dip.

"An instant hit! No one believes this is a "light" recipe, but it is," says Nancy. "Serve with crackers, chips, or crudites, and expect to take home a sparkling clean bowl."

"I always make a double batch of this, it is very simple yet delicious," says Michelle. "At a birthday party a few years ago, I found a friend eating the remains of the dip with a spoon, straight from the bowl. It's that good!"

Ceviche de Camaron

While traditional ceviche recipes involve raw seafood "cooked" by the acid of limes, this 5-star Mexican shrimp cocktail app features cooked shrimp accented by a sauce that's a cross between salsa and cocktail sauce.

"This one is so yummy that we fought over the leftovers!" says Cathy F.

Caesar Salad

Anchovy paste is the secret to the briny kick of flavor that sets great Caesar salad dressing apart from the rest.

"This low-fat version is an excellent substitute for the real thing," says Nancy. "Not a drop of mayo (and it’s not missed at all!)"

Seafood Paella

This world-famous Spanish seafood dish is easier than it looks. Shrimp, fish, mussels, and squid cook in a saucy broth of clam juice, white wine, chopped veggies, and fragrant spices.

This makes a lovely presentation without a lot of work, and is healthful to boot!" says Christie "Must use the saffron and smoked paprika for the full effect."

Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie

This oldie-but-goody, published in November 1998, received several votes from the Stir-Crazy group as well as more than 50 reviewers who gave it five stars. The recipe calls for "stick margarine or butter," but today we'd recommend butter.

“I make this one all the time!" raves Cathy F. "It is easy and combines two of my favorite foods…chocolate and bananas."
