    Recipe Introduction


    full title: baked seafood casserole in ginger cider sauce

    original poster's notes: I made this recipe tonight and it is wonderful. It started out as 2 servings and 11 points each. I had banked some points this week so decided to try it. It easily serves 3 (and then is 7 points per serving), and probably 4 (but we have big appetites).

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 lb scallops
    1/2 lb shrimp

    Ginger Cider Sour Cream Sauce:
    1 tbsp unsalted butter
    1/4 c leeks -- washed and sliced
    3 tsps flour
    1/2 c apple cider -- or apple juice concentrate
    1 c lowfat sour cream
    1 tbsp chopped parsley
    1 tsp minced ginger

    Seasoned Bread Crumbs:
    1/4 c dry bread crumbs -- was 1/2 c
    1/8 c shredded lowfat cheddar cheese
    1 tsp lemon juice
    1 tbsp unsalted butter -- melted

    Recipe



    Make the Sauce:
    Melt the butter in a saucepan and saute the leeks. Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Add the cider or apple juice concentrate, and stir until smooth. Stir in the sour cream, parsley, and ginger and simmer 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Make the bread crumbs:
    Combine the bread crumbs and cheese. Moisten with the lemon juice and melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Place the fresh seafood in a 1 quart casserole dish. Pour the Ginger Cider Sour Cream Sauce over the seafood. Top the casserole with the Seasoned Bread Crumbs. Bake in a 450¼ F. oven for 15-20 minutes or until cooked. Serve. Serves 3. (large servings)

    If there are leftovers, they reheat well in a microwave, but this one doesn't freeze.

    Betsy's Notes: Made 3/5/00. Excellent. Seemed like too much bread crumb mixture, so next time I'll cut it to 1/4 c. and leave out the cheese (you didn't really notice it anyway).
    Original recipe was for 2 servings, but it was easily three, even for our large appetites.
