SEAFOOD AND SPINACH MORNAY
This is a wonderful seafood dish, I guess you could call it a casserole recipe. It tastes wonderful and everyone I have made this for just loves it . It is not the quickest recipe I have posted lately as it has a few different stages and then the final oven cooking time, but it is by no means time intensive and the end result is yummo. I used prawns, white fish fillets and scallops but I am sure you could play around with the ingredients on this one. I mixed up the prawns in that I used some salad prawns and some medium sized prawns, this was just to save a little on cost, instead of buying all medium (more expensive), so feel free to do what you want.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is pale yellow and frothy, about 1 minute. Do not allow the roux to brown. Slowly whisk in the milk and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Allow to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. This is now called a bechamel sauce, and may be used as is to top any number of dishes.
- Stir in the cheese and whisk until melted. If the sauce seems to thick, thin with a little milk.
- The sauce is now called a Mornay Sauce. Pour over steamed vegetables and serve immediately. If not using right away, cool, cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several days.
LOBSTER MORNAY SAUCE
This recipe is very simple to make, and you can substitute crab or shrimp for the lobster. I use all three when we are craving seafood. Serve over rice or pasta.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pick over crab meat carefully to remove and discard pieces of shell or cartilage. Do not break up the pieces of crab; leave them as whole as possible. Set aside.
- Pick over spinach to remove tough stems or blemished leaves. Rinse well and drain. Set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan and add flour, stirring rapidly with a whisk. Add salt, pepper and cayenne. When blended, stir in milk, cream and nutmeg. Let simmer, stirring often from the bottom, about 10 minutes. Add cheese and stir until melted.
- Put spinach in a deep skillet or casserole without water. Cook, stirring often, until the leaves wilt. Drain. Press or squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible from the leaves. Chop spinach until it is medium fine.
- Heat remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet and add 1 tablespoon shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add spinach. Add salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into a baking dish (an oval dish measuring 14 by 8 by 2 inches is ideal).
- Spoon crab into a smaller ovenproof dish and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of chopped shallots. Place in oven and bake 5 minutes. Scatter crab meat over spinach and smooth it to make an even layer. Spoon cheese sauce over all and smooth it over. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly on top.

- Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it, or it will become tough and rubbery.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the seafood and spinach, but not so thick that it's difficult to eat.
- Serve immediately. Seafood and Spinach Mornay is best served immediately, while the seafood is still hot and the sauce is still creamy.

Seafood and Spinach Mornay is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also relatively easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights. With its creamy sauce, tender seafood, and fresh spinach, Seafood and Spinach Mornay is sure to please everyone at the table.
