- 0.25 cup Dry sherry

Instructions
Season the oysters and shrimp with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the oysters and shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
Deglaze the skillet with dry sherry, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine.
Gradually add the Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked oysters and shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat them in the cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, paprika, and green onions over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices for dipping.
