Ingredients

1 cup chopped onion

2 cans (6 ounces each) small shrimp, rinsed and drained

1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 pound fresh cooked or canned crabmeat, drained and cartilage removed

8 sole or flounder fillets (2 to 2-1/2 pounds)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

1/3 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons water

2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Cooked wild, brown, white or a mixed rice, optional

Instructions

1 Saute the flavorings and crabmeat

2 In a large saucepan, saute the onion, shrimp and mushrooms in butter until the onion is tender. Then add the crabmeat and heat it through.

3 Prep and stuff the fillets

4 Sprinkle the fillets with salt, pepper and paprika. Spoon the cooked crabmeat mixture on the fillets, roll them up and fasten each with a toothpick. Place the rolled fillets in a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.

5 Add the liquids and cheese

6 Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soup, broth and water, blending the mixture until smooth. Pour this over the fillets, then sprinkle on the cheese.

7 Bake and finish the dish

8 Cover the dish, and bake the fish for 30 minutes. Then sprinkle on the fresh parsley and bake, uncovered, for five minutes more or until the fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. Serve the meal with rice, if desired.
