The Recipes (2nd post Feb 22)

I mentioned yesterday that Liz left a couple of recipes in my comments section, and asked me to forward them to Skippy of I Make Soap.  She actually left the recipes on my post of several days ago, so for the benefit of anyone who is always looking for a good recipe, I am reprinting them here:

Hi Gypsy ~ Could you share these recipes for Shrimp, Crab, Scallop Casserole with I Make Soap to see if they are anything like her Mom used to make! I can't seem to comment on her site. (found at cooks.com)

SEAFOOD CASSEROLE
1 lb. shrimp, cooked, shelled & deveined
1 lb. scallops, drained well
1 lb. crab or lobster (drained)
1/2 lb. thin spaghetti, cooked
1 1/2 pts. half & half
1/2 lb. grated sharp cheese
Paprika
Combine shrimp, scallops and crab. In a buttered 13x9-inch casserole, layer 1/2 the seafood, 1/2 the spaghetti, 1/2 the cheese. Repeat. Pour cream over top. Sprinkle with paprika.
Note: If using canned crab or lobster, be sure to drain away the liquids in the can.

Forgot to add this important info:
Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
(To do ahead, bake 30 minutes, cool, then freeze. To serve, thaw and bake 30 minutes at 350°F.)
