Seafood Casserole

Source: Wendy Kolzow/Baptist Diabetes Center

1 pound imitation crab meat
1/2 pound frozen cooked small shrimp
10 ounces frozen peas, thawed and drained
1 1/2 cups cooked white rice
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 cup reduced fat sour cream
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix together all ingredients except Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into baking dish and top with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 45 minutes.

For added flavor try: adding a few shakes of bottled hot sauce; adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; adding 1/2 cup chopped asparagus; using fresh tarragon instead of dried; substituting thyme for tarragon; or topping with bread crumbs seasoned with garlic.

And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department. — Andrew Carnegie
