Spicy Shrimp Bake
Yield: 4 entree servings
Ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 (10 ounce) can Ro*Tel tomatoes
- 3/4 cup chopped green onions
- 3/4 cup sliced black olives
- 3/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 chopped green bell pepper (optional)
- 1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1 pound cooked shrimp (deveined)
- 2 teaspoons dry sherry
- Gouda cheese
- Large pastry shells
Instructions
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and slowly add flour, stirring until well blended. Remove from fire before it turns brown.
- Drain tomatoes and save the liquid. Place tomatoes in blender and slowly add the flour mixture. Cook this mixture over very low heat for about 8 minutes until smooth.
- Stir in the onions, olives and mushrooms. Cook slowly until the mushrooms are tender ( I often use canned mushrooms).
- Add a little of the reserved tomato juice until the mixture bubbles slightly.
- Add shrimp and sherry. Simmer over very low heat for about 50 minutes, stirring frequently to keep from sticking.
- Pour into a shallow casserole dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Shred Gouda cheese and spread over the shrimp mixture.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes until cheese has melted and the shrimp mixture is quite hot.
- Serve over large pastry shells, bow tie pasta, spaghetti or hot steamed rice.
