Mix shrimp n gator and spread out in pan. Season to taste with red , black pepper, salt. 1/2 tbl. thyme Mix and grind and spread back out in pan. Appx. 1/2 cup dry shallot , dry parsley , dry mince onion. Add rice and 1/2 cup water and mix well . stuff. I made 5-6 inch links so they don't split when cooking and poked fork hole in middle.

To cook I boiled 1/2 to 3/4 pot water in 12 qt. pot with 1/2 cup liquid zaterains crab boil and boiled links about 15 minutes. Then took out and put a clean bbq. rack on top pot , reduced heat and steamed about 20 minutes . Probly don't need to cook that long but i don't like taking chances.

I would think redfish or drum could be added in or replace gator or shrimp but i had gator n swimp so thats what i used.

PS- the old crow goes down good with this also .

This sounds pretty tasty
