Jag's Seafood Casserole


1/2 pound crabmeat (fresh, canned or imitation) 1/2 pound shrimp (canned or fresh, cooked and peeled) 1 can Cream of Shrimp Soup 1 cup Mayo 1 cup Milk	8 oz. Angel Hair Pasta 8 oz. Sharp cheddar cheese - shredded 1 Can (large) French's Taste Toppers (Fried Onions)

Mist soup, mayo and milk until smooth. Stir in crabmeat, shrimp and UNCOOKED pasta. Spoon into ungreased baking dish (13 X 9 works well) and top with shredded cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove foil and sprinkle with French's onion rings (Taste Toppers). Bake uncovered an additional 10 minutes or until onion rings are browned and casserole is bubbling. Now some tips from the Mist!
The angel hair MUST be broken up! LOL - being Italian, we never ever break the pasta, and I didn't my first time. I told Jaga and she was hysterical. So, you have to break up the angel hair. I use fresh or frozen, not canned seafood. I usually put in more than a pound of seafood, and have used shrimp, crabmeat, scallops, langastinos and even artificial crabmeat. I like scallops and real crabmeat the best...my son likes it with shrimp and scallops best. I could not find Cream of Shrimp Soup here, so have used instead Cream of Mushroom, New England (white) Clam Chowder and some other I cannot remember now. LOL! Then Jaga sent me some Cream of Shrimp Soup; don't think they sell it in CA. I don't like mayo, but Jaga was right...you really cannot taste it. The casserole is SO rich that I use "light" (NOT fat free) mayo. Cholesterol is another concern for me, so I usually use another cheese with the cheddar (like mozzerella or Jack or swiss), or use "cheddarella" cheese. The more orange the cheese, the more cholesterol. Although, I have made it with the cheddar, and it IS delicious that way!! I like to serve it with salad and bread - Italian or French or foccacia bread. _
And Now, I added some white wine to mine!!

Best way to prepare seafood before adding to the mix is to saute' in a little olive oil, garlic and white wine. (Also a Mist suggestion)
