Barb, I found it! OK, I really changed it, but this was the recipe I started with! LOL Gosh, I can hardly recognize it now! LOL, plus, this was for a huge batch!



Shrimp Florentine

4 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach (I used a 20 ounce bag of fresh)
3 pounds medium-size shrimp, cooked, shelled and de-veined ( I used 1 lb)
1/4 cup butter (I used a couple of tablespoons maybe)
1 cup flour (I used some parmesean cheese, I didn't measure)
3 cups skim or regular milk ( I used 1 pint of heavy cream)
1 cup dry white wine ( I just dumped some in...and then took a swig )
1/2 cup chopped scallions ( I used garlic which I sauteed )
Salt and pepper, to taste
Paprika ( I couldn't find mine so I omitted it)
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese ( I used enough to cover the top nicely)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Thaw and drain spinach well.

Spread spinach in 13 x 9-inch ovenproof dish and top with shrimp.

In saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour, gradually adding milk, wine and scallions.

Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat, until sauce bubbles and thickens.

Add salt and pepper to taste, and enough paprika for rosy color. Pour sauce over shrimp, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes, or until bubbly.

Serve with steamed rice.

You aren't that far off MOG.
Cool I got 1.5 lbs of shrimp too! See, I was already altering the recipe too!
Dang 20oz is a LOT of freaking spinach! Reminds me of that last spinach experiment LOL. This doesn't even fit in my largest frying pan, which is pretty darn BIG!

Re: Shrimp FLorentine (pics)

I was thinking of doing 1/2 parm and 1/2 almond flour.......

Re: Shrimp FLorentine (pics)

It might not fit in your pan for the first 30 seconds...but in the end it won't even cover the bottom of the pan!
