Equipment
- saucepan
- Casserole
Ingredients
For casserole:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 oz mushrooms
- 12-16 oz shrimp
- 8 oz cooked ling fillets
- 1-4 tbsp parmesan cheese
For sauce:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Kosher salt
- black pepper freshly ground
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 2 tsp chives thinly sliced
- 2 tsp parsley finely chopped
- 2 tbsp dry white wine or sherry
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F. In the meantime, melt 1 tbsp of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are tender, stirring from time to time.
- Use 1 tbsp of butter to grease the casserole (½ quart) and mix your seafood components on it, topping them off with the cooked mushrooms.
- Prepare the sauce. Add the remaining 3 tbsp of butter to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour until it’s smooth and bubbly. Cook for another 2 minutes stirring constantly.
- Add the milk gradually, constantly stirring. Reduce the heat and continue stirring until the sauce is thickened and the mixture turns to a light sauce. Add salt, pepper, chives, paprika, parsley, and wine.
- Pour the sauce into the seafood casserole, mix it, and bake for 8-10 minutes in a preheated oven.
- Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top of it. Pro tip: you can also use breadcrumbs for a crunchy top.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until it has a brown and pleasant top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
