Seven Seas Casserole image

Elegant, quick, and EASY casserole that is good enough for company! A favorite of mine--I could eat this several times a week LOL! From my mother. Over the years, I have tweaked the original recipe to suit my tastes. Hope you like it as much as I do! (Note: you may add a dash or two of celery salt, or "Beau Monde" seasoning, to the soup mixture for extra 'ooomph', if you like, but it is excellent as written.)

Time 45m

Yield 1 casserole, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
3/4 cup milk (3/4 soupcan full)
1 1/4 cups rice, cooked (measured dry before cooking)
2 cups bay scallops or 2 cups other seafood, of your choice
10 ounces frozen baby peas (or peas and baby onions)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated (optional)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional) or 2 tablespoons dry vermouth (optional)
8 slices American cheese
paprika

Steps:

  • Mix soup and milk in saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine with cooked rice, seafood (cut seafood into bite-size pieces, if necessary), peas, onion, lemon zest and juice, and sherry.
  • Turn into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
  • remove from oven and top with slices of cheese; sprinkle with paprika.
  • Return to oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
  • Remove from oven, and let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Helpful Tips: I like to put the onion in with the rice while the rice is cooking. Also, be sure to use the designated small-sized shrimp, or bay scallops or other bite-sized seafood in this dish---DO NOT use large or jumbo shrimp or sea scallops unless you cut them up--- as you want a morsel of yummy seafood in every bite!
