Instructions
In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Sprinkle the flour into the pot and whisk for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux.
Slowly pour in the white wine while whisking to prevent lumps. Gradually add the chicken or seafood stock, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture warm through but do not allow it to boil.
Gradually add the shredded Gruyere and grated Parmesan cheese to the pot, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth.
Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, crab meat, and scallops. Add the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Transfer the warm seafood fondue to a fondue pot or heatproof serving dish to keep warm.
Serve with cubed French bread, blanched vegetables, or other dippables of your choice. Enjoy immediately!
