1/4 cup flour

Instructions

Grease a 2-quart casserole. Melt 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter, do not burn or scorch. Add garlic powder, parsley and 3 cups of the tomatoes. Cook mixture 5 minutes. Mix flour with remaining 1/2 cup tomatoes,to form a smooth paste. Add to garlic/parsley/tomato mixture and cook an additional 2 minutes longer. Add light cream to mixture, mix well, then add Worcestershire sauce and dry sherry (or apple juice). Blend mixture well, cook 5 minutes. Then add seafood and sauteed mushrooms, salt and pepper if desired. Pour directly into greased 2-quart casserole, sprinkle with dry bread crumbs, dot with remaining butter. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve with prepared rice, if desired
