CRAB MORNAY 
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen spinach
3 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 c. milk plus 1/2 c. light cream
1/4 c. dry bread crumbs
1 c. grated Swiss cheese
1 tbsp. lemon or lime juice
2 (6 1/2 oz.) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked
Paprika

May substitute 1 pound cooked shrimp or 1 pound imitation crab.

Cook spinach briefly and drain well. Melt butter. Blend in flour and salt and cayenne pepper. Gradually stir in milk and cream. Boil 1 minute, stirring. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add lemon juice and crabmeat. Put spinach in a 2 quart casserole (preferably flat bottom). Pour crab mixture over spinach. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and paprika. Bake 15 minutes at 375 degrees. May be served as is or over toast points or rice. May add 1/4 cup white wine or additional seasonings to taste. I spray my casserole dishes with Pam first.
