  7. Break the cornbread apart in a large bowl, then add the vegetables, herbs, and stuffing mix. Lightly stir, then add the mayonnaise, soups, and seasonings and stir until combined.
  8. Slowly pour in the the seafood stock 1/4 cup at a time, stirring between additions. Season to taste, then gently stir in the crab and shrimp.
