Seafood Rice Casserole
The white sauce in this recipe has many other uses. Rice flour prevents the sauce from getting lumpy and makes it notably smooth. It does not require long time to heat. Rice flour is so easy to use – a great companion in the kitchen!
-
To make the white sauce, add 5-8% rice flour to the milk, and whisk over medium heat. When it starts to boil, it gradually becomes creamy.

In a large skillet, add olive oil over medium-high heat, and sauté onions. Add mushrooms. When cooked thoroughly, add scallops and shrimp and cook briefly.
