Technically, it's made with fish, not seafood, but the Crab Rangoon Dip from the Stoneware Inspirations book and current SBRC is really good. It uses imitation crab (or "crab with a K" as DH and I call it), cream cheese and sweet and sour sauce. It tastes just like Crab Rangoon from a Chinese restaurant. I've taken it to parties (non-PC) and NEVER come home with leftovers.
In one of the older books, there was a Shrimp Coc*tail pizza that was also tasty. I made it at a show once and it was also easy. It's a crescent roll crust, baked. Topped with cream cheese (with a garlic clove in it), coc*tail sauce, peeled and cooked shrimp and thinly sliced cucumber (I think). For as simple as it sounds, you really can show off some high-dollar tools, and even more if you make your own sauce by combining ketchup and prepared horseradish.
