Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 400 grams Scallops
- 400 grams White fish fillet (e.g., cod or haddock)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle simmer. Add the shrimp, scallops, and white fish fillet to the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the seafood is just cooked through. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly add the milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it thickens into a creamy sauce.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the poached seafood to the cheese sauce and gently fold to combine.
Pour the seafood mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
