Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Dry sherry
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 pound Sea scallops (cut into quarters if large)
- 0.5 pound Lump crab meat
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk, cooking until the mixture thickens and is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the dry sherry, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly add about 1/4 cup of the warm sauce to the yolks, whisking constantly, to temper them.
Stir the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan, mixing well to create a smooth and creamy Newburg sauce.
In a large skillet, cook the shrimp and scallops over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until just opaque. Drain any liquid.
Combine the cooked seafood, crab meat, and cooked white rice in a large mixing bowl. Pour the Newburg sauce over the mixture and gently toss to coat.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
