Mom knew how to get us to eat our spinach. When she cooked this, there was never any left. So who said Popeye was the only one who liked spinach?
Ingredients
- 2 (10 oz) packages frozen spinach
- 1 tsp Accent or MSG
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup blanched almonds, chopped
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp dry sherry
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 ounce cream cheese
- 2 slices Old English cheese
- 1/2 tsp hot sauce
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 pounds raw shrimp, cleaned and deveined

Step 4
