Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 lb. crab or shrimp
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 to 3 cans Cheddar cheese soup
  • 8 oz. milk
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

  2. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish.
  3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour until bubbly and golden.

Tips & Substitutions

For a creamier texture, consider adding a cup of sour cream or cream cheese to the mix. If you want a healthier option, substitute brown rice for white rice, or use cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative. Worcestershire sauce can be replaced with soy sauce for a different flavor profile. This dish is similar to the beloved Scallop Noodle Casserole, so feel free to experiment with those ingredients.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this Seafood Divan alongside a fresh garden salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives on top adds a nice touch. It pairs beautifully with the flavors of American recipes, making it a versatile dish for gatherings or family dinners. Consider serving it with a glass of white wine for a delightful pairing.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave single portions for convenience, but be sure to cover them to retain moisture.
