In large skillet saute together first 5 ingredients until onion is soft. Add wine and cook for 2 minutes or until wine has evaporated. Stir in the flour and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and cook and stir until the sauce is very thick. Stir in the remaining ingredients.

Transfer mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle top with Buttered Cheese and Crumb Topping. (At this point can be held in refrigerator overnight.)

BUTTERED CHEESE AND CRUMB TOPPING:

1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

This casserole is very elegant in taste and presentation - can be served for lunch or dinner. Crabmeat or scallops can be substituted for the shrimp or combined with the shrimp for interest. Serves 6, doubled, tripled or whatever!
