In a heavy saucepan melt butter. Stir in flour then gradually add milk, wine, & scallions. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until all bubbles & thickens. Add salt, pepper, & enough paprika to give a rosy color. Set aside.
Sauté shrimp & garlic in olive oil for about 30 seconds (shrimp will not be cooked all way through).

If freezing: Do not bake. Place entire casserole in freezer. When frozen, lift frozen block out of dish, wrap with heavy duty foil, & return to freezer. When ready to bake, replace frozen block in dish & bake, uncovered, at 350º for one hour or until bubbly.
