Looking for a seafood casserole that tastes gourmet? Try this one. The Cajun flavor comes through the cheese topping—and the confetti of green onions and red peppers makes it pretty enough for a party.—Emory Doty, Jasper, GA
Ingredients:
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham, cut into thin strips
1/2 pound medium fresh mushrooms, quartered
2 tablespoons butter
4 green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces fontina cheese, cubed
1 jar (7 ounces) roasted sweet red peppers, drained and chopped
1/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1/4 cup grated romano cheese
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, Cajun seasoning and pepper. Add shrimp, a few at a time, and shake to coat.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook shrimp in oil in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; top with prosciutto. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Add onions and garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add cream and fontina cheese; cook and stir until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat; stir in peppers. Pour over prosciutto. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 8 servings.
