Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and continue to sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk followed by the heavy cream. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens to a sauce-like consistency.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Fold in the cooked lobster meat, scallops, shrimp, and frozen peas. Stir until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Lightly grease a large casserole dish with olive oil and pour the seafood mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm.
