Needs to be elaborated - use shrip (and/or scallops and crabmeat) more cooking sherry- I would double this recipe- and after cooking the roux to golden then combine and put in casserole dishes- add shredded cheader and colby on top- when bubbly- then sprinke buttered panko crumbs on top -bake til brown- serve with salad and garlic bread or cheese biscuits.

I have been a Mr. Food fan for years! However, This recipe is way below his usual. Not just inexpensive but cheap! The only saving grace is the notes at the bottom of the recipe. Also, there needs to be more direction about the cooking of the butter and flour. Unless you obtain at least a blond roux you will have a flour taste in your meal. A white roux is just kindergarden flour paste and tastes so. The flour needs to be cooked to make a good sauce!!
