This is amazing. So good, so creamy, so herby, everyone loves this. It is always one of the first things to go when I serve this at card parties. Enjoy
Ingredients:
6 ounce can tiny shrimp drained and liquid reserved
6 ounce can crab meat drained
2 ounces cream cheese at room temperature cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/3 cup asiago cheese grated
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
3/4 cup half and half
1-1/2 cups prepared marinara sauce drained to remove excess liquid
1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese finely shredded for topping
Directions:
1. In a 2 quart saucepan on medium low heat olive oil and blend in flour. Add to flour the liquids that were reserve from the shrimp and crab then stir well. To this sauce add cubed cream cheese, salt, crushed garlic, horseradish and stir until smooth. Add asiago and parmesan cheeses and stir until smooth. When the cheese has melted and sauce is smooth add shrimp and crab then blend well. Simmer until heated through. Add half and half a little at a time until the seafood sauce starts to simmer and begins to resemble warm pudding. Let sauce simmer for 15 minutes. Stir sauce so it will not scorch on bottom. In a shallow baking dish spray with nonstick spray. Add drained marinara sauce and carefully spoon seafood sauce on top.
