Cornish Hens:
2 large Cornish hens, thawed and halved

½ cup cocktail sauce with horseradish
2 or 3 drops Louisiana hot sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon tarragon, dried and crushed
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Wash Cornish hens and cut in half, place on heavy foil lined broiler pan. Spray with butter-flavor cooking spray. Rub all sides with garlic and onion powder. Brush heavily on both sides with Spicy Tomato Wine Sauce. Broil hens about ten inches from oven coil skin side up for 7 minutes, then turn hen over and broil an additional 7 minutes.
Remove from oven and set temperature to 350.
Crab Stuffing:

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serves 4
