Carolyn Glassmoyer wraps flounder around succulent shrimp in this elegant from-the-sea favorite. Its delicate fish flavor melds perfectly with the milk mustard sauce, she notes from Shillington, Pennsylvania.

Ingredients

4 flounder fillets (6 ounces each)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 teaspoons butter
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup 2% milk
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

Sprinkle each flounder fillet with lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Roll each fillet around a shrimp and secure with a toothpick. Chop remaining shrimp; set aside. Arrange rolled fillets seam side down in an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and shrimp turn pink.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour; gradually add the milk, mustard, white pepper and remaining salt until blended. Add remaining shrimp. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened and shrimp turn pink. Serve sauce over fish.

This was good but not outstanding. I thought the sauce could have used a bit more flavor.
