Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, white rice, mushrooms with their juice, cream mushroom soup, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Mix well.
-
Add the finely chopped onion, diced green pepper, drained shrimp, and rinsed crab meat to the bowl. Gently fold everything together until evenly distributed, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
-
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
-
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.
-
Remove from oven. In a small pan, toast the remaining 1/4 cup slivered almonds with breadcrumbs and a little butter until golden. Sprinkle this topping over the casserole.
-
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is crisp and the casserole is heated through.
