| A file of beef roast would need to rest for at least 20 minutes which is plenty of time to roast or sauté the shrimp. |
Best idea and most appropriate surf with turf may be crabcakes. Prepare in advance and broil in oven while beef is resting. |

My neighbor made gumbo last year and it was delicious. She gave me the recipe but I have not tried it yet. I think that is you had the shrimp at the last minute to the crockpot it would be okay, since the shrimp is a small part of the whole recipe.
Here is the link to the recipe: https://smokinandgrillinwitab.com/gumbo-collard-greens-with-shrimp-recipe/ |
I thought about this too. But the logistics may be tricky for OP. The host may not have a pot big enough or a burner available for a huge pot (if OP brings her own). Plus that is super messy, especially if feeding a large group indoors. If it’s 8 people or fewer perhaps |
| Maybe get a large freshly made sushi platter |
| Does the host family have a grill? That opens up more options. |
| Can we please hear more about this surf and turf soirée and the host that asked a guest to bring the surf????? I am baffled! |
I also thought about crab cakes baked before go over and warm in crockpot. Other is seafood paella made before hand just served in crockpot. |

OP asks for recipes, and in 3 pages of scolding, there are like 3. If you have nohing to contribute, you just shouldn't contribute. I don't want to be that a-hole, so a quick Google search shows:

| I can’t think of any seafood that benefits from more than a quick cook. Maybe a fish stew or saltcod or pickled herring? |
| Lobster mac with a dishes of toasted panko for sprinkling on top for crunch and sliced chives and/or scallions |
this! costco sells them and we make them every christmas eve |
OP please report back on whatever happened with this stellar idea. We’re dying to know. |
| Bacon wrapped scallops. You can wrap them at home and sauté them quickly on the stove. |
| Erg… my brain just snapped. |
