SHRIMP AND SQUASH CASSEROLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and dry squash. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Thoroughly rinse shrimp under cold water. Drain. Heat the two tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook until it bubbles. Remove from heat and gradually add chicken broth, stirring constantly. Bring to boil for 1 or 2 minutes. Blend in whipping cream and minced onion. Mix in the raw shrimp. Place a layer of squash in the bottom of a 1-1/2 quart casserole and spoon half of the shrimp sauce over the squash. Repeat layers with remaining squash and shrimp sauce. Cover tightly and set in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toss crumbs and Parmesan cheese with melted butter. After 30 minutes, remove casserole from oven and reduce heat to 350°F. Remove cover and top with the crumb mixture. Return to the oven for 15 minutes, or until crumbs are golden brown.
