Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.
Gradually stir in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Once the mixture begins to thicken, lower the heat to medium-low and gradually add the cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan cheeses. Stir until the cheeses are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the cooked shrimp and imitation crab meat to the fondue. Stir gently to incorporate.
Optional: Stir in the white wine to add depth of flavor.
