Gulf Shrimp and Crabmeat Au Gratin

 Jayne Frank (United States) says:
My husband just marveled about this recipe and with frozen cooked shrimp and fake crab it tasted just like a 5- star restaurant. He put his small casserole over noodles but this is a bit much. Because of my frig contents I substituted colby for "sharp," and I used crushed saltines and a small amount of seafood seasoning. Great dish and fairly fast.
