Number Of Ingredients 12

1-1/2 pounds yellow squash (equals 3 cups squash)
3/4 cup raw shrimp, shells removed and deveined
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon minced onion
1/2 cup coarse bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter, melted (to combine with crumbs and cheese)

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.
