SHRIMP AND CRABMEAT SEAFOOD CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the oven to 350 F. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium saucepan or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they are tender.
• Use a small piece of the reserved butter to grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole , then combine in it the shrimp, lobster, and crabmeat. Add the cooked mushrooms on top.
• Add the remaining butter to a saucepan and place it over medium-low heat; stir in flour until smooth and bubbly. Continue cooking, stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir over low heat until the sauce is thickened and bubbly. Stir in the salt, pepper, paprika, chives, parsley, and wine.
• Gently pour the sauce into the seafood mixture and mix well. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
• Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• Turn on the broiler for a minute to achieve a brown and attractive top.
• Serve immediately and enjoy.

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.

• Bake at 350 degrees until crumbs are lightly browned and casserole is bubbly.
• Note: 3 1/2 lbs raw shrimp= 2 lbs cooked shrimp.
• Also you can make this ahead of time and freeze minus the cracker topping until ready to use and thaw completely before baking.
• Because it makes such a large amount you can also divide in half and use one now and freeze the other dish.
