Special Notes


If you have extra points,sprinkle with 1 tsp of grated Parm and 1 tsp of Frenches French Fried Onions.
NOTE* check your ovens heat.If it tends to cook quicker,reduce cooking time.I used shrimp,scollops and imitation crab, fresh crab in small amounts to make up my seafood dish. When I made this with chicken, I used thigh meat but breast is a better choice.BOTH were delicious!! enjoy
