  • 1 0.5 lb medium shrimp, cooked, shelled and deveined
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 0.3 cup scallions, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 0.3 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Thaw and drain spinach very well, squeezing out excess moisture. Spread spinach in a 13x9-inch baking dish.

  3. 3

    Arrange cooked shrimp evenly over the spinach layer.

  4. 4

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Gradually whisk in milk, wine and scallions. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until the sauce bubbles and thickens, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Season with salt, pepper and enough paprika to give the sauce a rosy color.

  7. 7

    Pour the sauce evenly over the shrimp, then sprinkle grated Cheddar on top.

  8. 8

    Bake uncovered for 35 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned. Serve with steamed rice.
