Casseroles were invented in the 20th century. They relate more to "comfort food" than to restaurant dishes, and are loved for the fact that they allow you to quickly, tasty and cost-effectively feed a lot of eaters. Combined with a small amount of gourmet products, even the simplest and cheapest ingredients in casseroles take on new flavor nuances.

Instructions
Step 1
Cajun-style fish casserole
The Kajuns are an ethnic group made up of descendants of French colonists living mainly in the south of the American state of Louisina. Their cuisine is renowned for its simple ingredients and quirky, aromatic spice mix that gives its dishes a pungent exotic flavor. Only fresh shrimp are suitable for the Cajun-style casserole.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, bring the wine to a boil, but do not simmer. Dip the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon, dip in a bowl of cold water and ice and peel them.
Step 3
Finely chop the green onion feathers. In a small skillet, melt half the butter, sauté the chopped onion for 1 minute. Pour in the cream, add half of the spice mixture, add basil and paprika. Bring the sauce to a boil. Pour in the wine in which the shrimp and the seafood were cooked. Warm up everything for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Add mustard to the spices and roll the fish fillets in it. In a large wide skillet, melt the remaining butter, add the olive oil, stir and fry the fish for 3-5 minutes on each side. Cut the fried fillet into small slices, no larger, but no less than shrimp.
Step 5
Put rice in a baking dish, flatten, put fish fillets on it, cover with shrimp sauce. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 ° C for 10 minutes.
Step 6
If you are unable to purchase a Cajun spice mix, make it yourself. To do this, put 2 teaspoons of black peppercorns in a mortar and crush it. Add one tablespoon each of garlic and onion powder, two teaspoons each of white pepper and dried thyme, one and a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and half a teaspoon of dried oregano. Mix and store in a dry, dark place in an airtight jar.
Step 7
Casserole with crackers
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, add chopped parsley, peeled and chopped chili and garlic into it. Fry for 3-5 minutes. Crush the crackers with mashed potatoes until small crumbs, add the infused oil and mix well.
Step 8
Grease a baking dish with oil, place tilapia on the bottom, cover with shrimp, pour in cream and sprinkle with oiled crumbs and parmesan. Place in an oven heated to 180 ° C and bake for 20-25 minutes.
