Recipe Introduction


This is pretty good, but needs some work. Maybe more cheese? Ground mustard? Mayonnaise?


List of Ingredients




½ lb. crabmeat
½ lb. small shrimp
2 egg yolks
½ c. light cream
1 c. béchamel sauce
2 T. butter
2 T. whipping cream
2 T. Parmesan cheese
1 T. horseradish
2 t. hot sauce
1 T. sherry
1 c. buttered toasted breadcrumbs


Recipe



Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Grease a 1 to 1 ½ qt. casserole. Or 4 – 5 individual ones.

Pick over crabmeat and discard any bits of shell or cartilage.

Mix egg yolks with light cream. Add béchamel (reserving 2 T. for topping), butter, salt, horseradish, hot sauce, sherry and crabmeat. Turn mixture into prepared casserole dish.

Combine remaining béchamel with whipping cream and spread over top.

Mix Parmesan cheese with breadcrumbs and sprinkle over casserole.

Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and heated through.

Serves 4 – 5.
