Doherty's Shrimp and Crabmeat Au Gratin
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. lump crabmeat, cleaned and picked
  • 1 lb. medium peeled shrimp
  • ½ to 1 stick butter, your choice
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch chopped green onions or parsley
  • ¼ to ⅓ c. flour
  • 1 c. milk or heavy cream
  • 1-2 c. finely grated white cheddar cheese
  • Salt, red/black pepper, garlic powder
  • Seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions
  1. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté the onion and green onions.
  2. When it starts to wilt, sprinkle in flour a little at a time and keep stirring. You want the mixture to thicken up. Basically making a white sauce.
  3. Slowly add milk or cream stirring the whole time until you get the nice thickness you desire. You may or may not use all of the milk.
  4. Grate about ½ c. of cheese into the mixture. If you would like more put it. Stir to blend.
  5. Add the seasoned shrimp. When shrimp are cooked, taste for seasoning.
  6. Gently fold in crabmeat and taste for seasoning again.
  7. Serve in shells or ramekins.
  8. Top with seasoned bread crumbs and more cheese.
  9. Bake in 350 oven until cheese melts and breadcrumbs are golden.
  10. If you wish to garnish with extra green onions or parsley or paprika, do so before serving.
Notes
*****This recipe comes to me from my best friend, Sharla Doherty. I feel very fortunate to get this recipe or any from her. She is such a fabulous cook and usually does everything without a recipe. So to get her to put it in writing is a blessing. This will explain why the ingredients have varying amounts. I promise you this dish is so delicious. Anytime I can steal a recipe from her, I try my best to put it on paper. Enjoy!
