You Asked for It--Seafood Casserole Recipe

Good Morning to All,
I have received several emails from fellow AR members asking that I share more seafood recipes here ...so occasionally, I will do just that.

This recipe has a long list of ingredients but do not allow that to discourage you from trying it. It is not difficult at all and is an outstanding and versatile seafood dish.

Seafood Casserole

3 cups shrimp, cleaned (cut in half if large)

1 lb. crab meat (I use select)

1 lb. scallops (cut in half if very large)

8 oz. fresh, sliced mushrooms

l large onion, diced

l large green pepper, diced

1 - 10 3/4 oz. can cream of shrimp soup

1 - 10 3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup long grain and wild rice (I use Uncle Ben's) cooked according to directions

1/2 cup milk (I use lowfat)

1 cup slivered almonds

2 tablespoons butter

Saute` onion, green pepper and mushrooms in the 2 tablespoons of butter until soft but not brown. Stir in all remaining ingredients except almonds. Mix well. Pour into a 2 quart baking dish, sprinkle almonds on top. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.

Note: You may use any combination of seafood or just 1. You can mix together early in the day (or night before), refrigerate and bake when ready to serve. Serve 8-10.

How many does this serve? Looks wonderful!

Cynthia - I can almost taste it. Since I am a good cook I can tell this is a tasty dish, and of course I am a big seafood fan. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tricia,
Thanks for asking--I went back and added that. 8-10 servings. Thanks for coming by and commenting.

This looks good......I am not a cook, and know nothing about how to mix food......do you eat this alone, or serve with something else? Umm, if I ever go to a Grocery Store I might try this, but better yet, I thinkI will give the recipe to my daughter to make :) :)

Cynthia:

Finally a blog that I can really use! HA Thanks for the Recipe. My oldest daughter is a graduate of Le Corden Bleu in Las Vegas and the two of us have been looking for a recipe like this for the past month. Sounds yummy. Thanks again for your comments on my blog as well. Have a great day!

Cynthia, This looks like a wonderful recipe...and like it would serve a crowd with a loaf or two of fresh homemade bread. Especially nice on a cool fall day after a day out hiking or at a sporting event....your recipes are the greatest!

Sounds very delicious... I can't wait to surprise my wife with this dish. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jennifer,
I remember you telling me before that you were an accomplished cook, maybe you'll share a favorite recipe? This is such a wonderful dish to serve guest, delicious, easy and can make ahead.

Now Kathy,
That does sound like the best of all worlds! I usually serve it with a green salad and a crusty bread--meal complete. Let me know if your daughter makes it for you. Thank you.

Hi Alan,
I bet your daughter is a marvelous cook. Glad I posted something that you can use, enjoy. Thank you for visiting and commenting.

Hello Jo,
You are exactly right and a green salad rounds it out nicely. Thank you for the compliment.

Good evening Vincent,
What a good husband! You do mean you plan to cook the dish--not give her the recipe to make? Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Cynthia, I miss a few days in the rain and am in danger of missing one of your recipes? Gee, I better be careful, Laura would kill me if she knew :) You're one of her favorite people. Honestly, we all love your recipes, they are never too difficult and always wonderful---Thank you!

Sounds like a great recipe. You have the best ones. Thank you for sharing them.

Cynthia, My whole family loves seafood and this really sounds great!

Good morning Carole,
That's what happens when you are away. We need to make sure we keep Laura happy--see what she thinks of this one and let me know. I might need you to start grading my recipes on a scale of 1-5. Thanks.

Hello Barbara,
Oh thank you, I have inherited many wonderful recipes from family members and good friends. Thank you for visiting and commenting.

Hi Candy,
Try this one on your family, I think it'll be a winner. Always has been for me. Thanks for stopping in and sharing your comments.

Cynthia, isn't this why the Week In Review is so great. I missed this and I can't wait to make it, yummy. I will need to double it for my family. LOL

Good evening Missy,
I didn't know this was included, I had not gotten there yet. Thank you and I hope your family enjoys the casserole. It is a good one.

Cynthia,

The recipe looks like something very special for a company coming to dinner evening. Thanks for sharing your special dish.

I left a message here on October third and tried the recipe for my anniversary on the fifth. My wife LOVED IT!!! Thanks for the great meal. Keep doing what you and best of luck.

that sounds quite delicious but my fiancee doesn't like seafood. Not only does she NOT like it...she takes a bite of any kind of sea food and she starts to dry heave...haha. So needless to say that I don't get to eat much fishy food.

Good morning Diane,
My pleasure and I hope that you and your family will enjoy it. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Hi Vincent,
Thank you for reporting back. I am thrilled to know your wife enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for stopping by for a visit and sharing your comments.

Hello Rick,
Well, that is too bad. Either you'll have to eat seafood for lunch or find a new girlfriend. LOL. Thanks for stopping in.

MMMMMMMM Cynthia,

Now I am hungry!

This sounds so fabulous and not too hard to make really - think I'll make it today!

Just one question??

You use RAW scallops and shrimp - right?

The crabmeat is the only thing already cooked before being put in this casserole?

Hi Debbie,
No, it is not difficult to make. Sorry I'm so late getting back to you but I've been away all day. Use raw scallops and shrimp and as for the crab--I use the pasteurized (you know, the refrigerated, sealed cans). Thanks for coming by and good luck. If you have any more questions, let me know. Oh, and the rice is cooked before adding but I think you were just asking about the seafood.

This sounds very yummy! How many people will this dish serve?

Hi Maureen,
It will serve 8-10 very well. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

OCT

I am definitely going to try this casserole...sounds just delicious!! Being from New England there's plenty of seafood around too!! :)

Hi Sue,
I think you will be pleased, it is a winner in my opinion. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Hey Cynthia, Just wanted to let you know that I tried it with out the scallops and it came out great. It didn't look picture perfect but it tasted great. Reminded me of gumbo and it was filling.

Thanks again for sharing.

Hi Tanya,
Happy to hear you tried it and liked it. I have made it without the scallops too and just added more crab and/or shrimp. Sorry it wasn't picture perfect--what was wrong with the way it looked?

Cynthia I stopped by this group to find a recipe to serve my daughter and son-in-law tomorrow. They don't eat red meat or chicken so I think this recipe will be perfect. Thank you for sharing. Betty

Betty,
I hope your daughter and son-in-law enjoys this as much as we do every time I serve it. I'll be interesting in hearing.

Cynthia, we all loved the casserole! It was absolutely delicious with a green salad, some chunky bread, and a little white wine! The son-in-law even took leftovers for lunch this week. Thank you so much putting the recipe on Active Rain. BTW it was easy to make and definitely worth the effort. Betty

Hi Betty,
We agree in fact, I've served it to guest many times.. it is always a hit and I do just as you did with the salad, bread and wine.

Hi James,
I predict this one will be a hit with her.

I have never experienced anything like this recipe, it looks HEAVENLY. I have never seen or heard of Cream of Shrimp soup. Could it be because we are in the Rocky Mountains and not the ocean?! I'm going to give it a try!
