Florida Seafood Casserole image

We have lots of friends from up North who come down here to Florida each winter to be our of the snow and in the sun. They always love to be served fresh seafood, a green salad and pie made with just-ripened strawberries. So I always try to accommodate them...and they usually compliment the chef!

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more seasoning. The seafood was also a bit overcooked.
