Alexander Sauce --Ingredients
6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
1/2 c finely chopped sweet yellow onions

Directions:
Directions:
1. Prepare corn bread mix according to package directions or prepare your own cornbread.(See our site for homemade cornbread) When done put in large bowl and crumble. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt margarine in skillet and add chopped seasoning mix and saute until transparent. Add soup, broth, shrimp and other seafood. Mix well and heat but do not boil. Add seasonings a little at a time, taste and adjust until you get the desired taste you like.
2. In a large greased baking pan, put the bread mix. Add your seafood mixture a little at a time and mix; keep doing this until all is mixed together. You may have to add a little more moisture (broth) to the mix if it is not moist enough. Don't add a lot at a time. You don't want it to be runny. I use extra broth if needed. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until golden brown. Serve with Tossed Green Salad.

Directions for Alexander Sauce
1. Heat 3 tbsp butter in large saute' pan, add onions, and cook until translucent over medium heat. Slowly stir in flour and cook 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Blend in clam juice. Gradually add cream, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Melt remaining 3 tbsp butter in another large saute' pan over medium heat; add shrimp and scallops and saute' until 3 quarters(2 minutes) done. Add crawfish and saute' 30 seconds. Drain butter, add reserved cream sauce mixture, and stir. Serve hot over your choice of cooked fish and enjoy.
