In heavy iron pot saute onions and garlic in butter until wilted and transparent. Add shrimp and crab meat. Cook 5 minutes. Add bread crumbs, salt, pepper, green onions and parsley. Cook another 15 minutes. Let stand until cool. Cut bell peppers into 3 parts lengthwise. Remove seeds and stems. Place cold stuffing on each piece of pepper and form into a ball. Make the batter by beating eggs and milk together in bowl. Mix cracker meal and fish-fry together in separate bowl. Roll stuffed peppers in meal mixture, then in egg mixture, and back again in meal. Fry in oil at 375 degrees until golden brown and hot throughout. For the brave at heart subsitute the bells with Jalapenos.
