Start off by opening the shrimp and crab. Drain the juice into a cup or bowl and set aside. Next the  melt  the butter or alternative in a 2-quart pan over a medium-low flame. When it’s completely melted add the flour. Stir and stir until the flour absorbs all the fat. Add the reserved seafood juice and the evaporated milk. Whisk smooth. Add the salt and cayenne. Cook and stir the mixture over a medium-low flame until it boils and thickens. Allow it to boil for a couple of minutes so you know it's cooked through. Finally stir in the shrimp, crab and sherry. Mix gently but thoroughly. Return to a boil for a brief moment so it's piping hot. Serve over toast or popovers or even split biscuits. Makes 4 hearty servings. NOTE: Feel free to use 2-cans of crab or 2-cans of shrimp instead of 1-can of each. Canned crab and shrimp can often be found inexpensively in Dollar stores.
