How To Make savory crab and shrimp au gratin

Cook your macaroni as directed by instructions on the box. Drain and mix with 3 tablespoons of butter.

Step 2

In another bowl add soup, cheese, cream and mushrooms, stir to blend.
Step 3

Step 4

Now the seasonings
Step 5

Now, blend the mixture with the macaroni.
Step 6

Spoon the mixture into a casserole dish, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. ( I used a 10 inch deep dish pie plate ) fits perfectly. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
Step 7

Melt your butter and mix with the crumbs. Spread evenly atop the pasta mixture. I sprinkled the top with a few shakes of paprika.
Step 8

Bake for 30 minutes or till golden and bubbly. This casserole is great, served with a Caesar salad.
