Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 pound scallops (small-sized)
- 0.5 pound lump crab meat
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion (finely diced)
- 1 stalk celery (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Ritz crackers (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, celery, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Italian breadcrumbs, crushed Ritz crackers, lemon juice, and fresh parsley until evenly combined.
Fold in the seafood (shrimp, scallops, and crab meat) gently, ensuring it is evenly coated in the stuffing mixture.
Pour the heavy cream into the mixture and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle it over the top of the casserole.
Sprinkle the top lightly with paprika for added color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the seafood is fully cooked.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
Serve warm alongside a green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
