Ingredients
Scale
1 pound mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, and crab meat)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup seafood stock
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the mixed seafood to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, seafood stock, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pour the cream mixture into the skillet with the seafood and stir in the frozen peas. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the seafood mixture into a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by the breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seafood mixture.
Substitute the seafood with your favorite fish or use a vegetarian option like mushrooms and zucchini for a meatless version.
