• 4 c small oyster crackers
• 1/4 c dry sherry
•  Hot sauce
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsps fresh lemon juice

• Step #5 Add a pinch of salt & bring to a boil.
• Step #6 Simmer over moderately low heat for 25 mins; strain through a coarse sieve set over a large glass measuring c; you should have about 2 1/2 c.
• Step #7 Preheat the oven to 400°.
• Step #8 Melt the 1 tbsp of solid butter in a medium skillet.
• Step #9 Add the scallions & cook over moderate heat, stirring, for 3 mins.
• Step #10 Add the shrimp cream & let simmer until reduced to 2 c, about 5 mins.
• Step #11 Pour the cream into a bowl & stir in the the lemon juice & Worcestershire sauce.
• Step #12 Spice up with salt, pepper & hot sauce; let cool until tepid.
• Step #13 Spice up the shrimp with salt & pepper & evenly pour the cream over them.
• Step #14 Put the oyster crackers in a sturdy resealable plastic bag, press the air out & seal to close.
• Step #15 Lay the bag on a work surface and, using a rolling pin or a heavy pan, crush the crackers until coarse crumbs form.
• Step #16 Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Step #17 Add the 4 tbsps of melted butter & the paprika & stir this to coat.
• Step #18 Scatter the cracker crumbs over the shrimp & pat to smooth.
• Step #19 Bake the casserole in the center of the oven for 25 mins, or until bubbling around the edge & the shrimp are just cooked through.
• Step #20 Remove from the oven.
• Step #21 Preheat the broiler.
• Step #22 Broil the casserole for 30 seconds, rotating as necessary, until the topping is evenly browned.
• Step #23 Let stand at about room temp for 5 to 10 mins before serving.
• Step #24 Make Ahead: The casserole can be prepared through Step 4 & put in the fridged overnight.
• Step #25 Let stand at about room temp for 20 mins before proceeding.
• Step #26 Wine Recommendation: A white with bright fruity flavors will stand up to the sherry & spices & complement the creaminess here.
• Step #27 Look for the 2002 Santa Julia Torrontes from Argentina or the 2002 Marqués de Cáceres Rioja Blanco from Spain.
