Instructions:

1. Prepare the White Sauce:

   • In a saucepan or skillet, melt butter over low heat.

3. Assemble the Casserole:

   • Layer half of the seafood mixture on top of the rice.
   • Repeat the layers with the remaining rice and seafood mixture.
   • Top the casserole with slices of Swiss cheese.
