• Topping:.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the 3/8 cups flavored bread crumbs, red pepper, yellow pepper, 6 green onions, 3/4 jalapeno, 1 1/2 stick butter, crabmeat, and 3/8 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Shrimp and Lobster Butter Cream Sauce:.
• In a heavy saucepan, melt 3/4 stick of the butter and saute' the 1/4 cup onions until they turn translucent. Add the 8 shrimp and chopped lobster. Saute' until pink. Add the 3 Tbsp flour and saute' for three minutes. Add clam stock and the remaining 3/4 stick butter. Slowly pour in 1-1/2 cup of the heavy cream while stirring. Then add the 2 pinches cayenne pepper, and when it begins to thicken, add the remaining 1-1/2 cup cream. Finish with the 3/8 cups sherry and season with 2 pinches of salt, pepper and paprika.
• Grouper Stuffing:.
• In a heavy stock pot, saute' the Spanish onions, carrots, celery and thyme in the 2 sticks butter until the onions are translucent. Add the shrimp and clam reduction then saute' until the shrimp are pink. Add the 3/4 cup sherry, salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the plain breadcrumbs until all of the liquid is absorbed and it can be formed into balls that are tacky, but will not fall apart.
• Stuffed Grouper:.
• First, cut a piece of grouper to an individual 6 oz serving. Be sure that there are no bones in the fillet. Make a vertical cut down the center of the fillet to 1/4 inch from the bottom, being sure not to cut through the fillet. To form one large pocket, make two horizontal cuts on the inside on either side of the first cut. Stuff this pocket with 4 oz of grouper stuffing. or cut grouper into two 3 ounces pieces and place stuffing between pieces.
• Arrange grouper fillets in a single layer in a baking dish (three 9x13 inch) or broiling pan and filled with 1/2 inch of water. Spread the crumb topping evenly over the fish.
• Bake until fish is easily flaked with a fork and stuffing is golden brown (approximately 15-30 minutes). If you have thin fillets, you may broil for 10 minutes instead of baking.
• Transfer to a plate on a bed of spinach en branche (also posted), decorate with slivers and spoon on the shrimp and lobster butter cream sauce to cover. Serve immediately.

SEAFOOD TRIO W/SHRIMP, SCALLOPS AND CRAB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat olive oil in heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium-low heat.
• Add scallion and a good pinch of salt. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Do not allow to brown.
• Add flour and stir until all oil is absorbed, forming a heavy paste.
• Cook paste (this is a white roux with scallions in it at this stage) for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid browning.
• Add 1/2 of the clam juice, stirring well to incorporate and avoid lumping.
• Add 1/2 of the clam juice, repeating the process.
• Stir in the wine.
• Stir in the cream.
• Add cayenne and white pepper.
• Bring sauce to a very low simmer. Taste sauce and adjust salt to taste. (I usually add about 1/2 tsp, but salt varies so sneak up on it rather than use more than you like.).
• Test the thickness by dipping a spoon into the sauce and letting it run off. It should be just thick enough to coat and cling to the back of the spoon -- this is called "nappe" (pronounced "na-pay" by my culinary instructor but my college French professor would have said "nap",) in classical cooking. If it is too thick, add a bit more clam juice or cream until you get the desired thickness, and reheat to a very low simmer.
• Add parsley and stir to incorporate.
• Preheat 2 oval ramekins (we use about a 4"x6" size, but any oval large enough to contain 12 oz of seafood will work) by running them under hot water.
• Place 1/2 of shrimp in one end of each ramekin. Place 1/2 of crab in opposite end of each ramekin. Place 1/2 of scallops in the center of each ramekin. (Yes, you want the seafood separated into neat little sections. It works. Trust me.).
• Pour 1/2 of the sauce evenly over the contents of each ramekin. Don't worry if the sauce wants to stick on the top -- it will run down into the seafood as the "casserole" bakes.
• If desired, you can put a thin layer of panko to the top of each ramekin. (This is not how the original was done, but my sister likes a bit of contrast in her textures so I do this when I'm cooking for her as well, and it certainly doesn't hurt anything.).
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top begins to show signs of browning. If there is no sign of browning after 20 minutes, raise the shelf and turn your oven to broil. Broil for no more than 5 minutes! This depends on your oven, and if you cook the seafood too long, you will get rubbery seafood.
• Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
