#934 - Shrimp Casserole

(by Shirley McNevich)

6 slices of bread
1 lb. cooked/peeled shrimp
1/2 lb. shredded sharp cheese
1/4 cup butter OR Parkay margarine (melted)
1/2 tsp. French's mustard
3 beaten eggs
2 cups milk
salt and pepper to taste
Old Bay Seasoning (optional)

In a bowl beat the eggs--add the mustard, milk, salt and pepper to your taste, and Old Bay to your taste--stir. Break bread into bite sized pieces. Grease a 2 qt. casserole. Making layers, add shrimp, bread crumbs and cheese to the greased casserole dish. As you finish each layer pour a little of the milk mixture on each layer. Keep alternating layers and adding milk mixture until bread crumbs are the last layer on top. Slowly pour melted butter over the top of the bread crumbs. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes--remove from oven, uncover, return to oven for 10 more minutes or until bread crumbs are browned.
