Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

On the Half Shell - Shrimp & Shellroni Casserole

I remember Mother making this recipe for club - but she must have tested it out on me. She had some individual shell dishes that she baked it in - real shells I'm sure, not ceramic. Wonder who got those??? Really like this recipe. You should know that in my house growing up, there was a difference between mayonnaise and salad dressing. I used Miracle Whip in this recipe. It was yummy - just like I remembered it, except for the shell!

SHRIMP & SHELLRONI CASSEROLE
Combine 1/3 cup chopped green pepper, 1/4 cup onion & 1 cup chopped celery.
1 6-½ oz. can crab
1 can shrimp
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash pepper
2 cups cooked shellroni
2 cups white sauce
1 egg slightly beaten
1/2 cup salad dressing
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. lemon juice
Combine and put in individual shell dishes & top with buttered crumbs. Bake 30 min. 350°F.
