Ingredients
Scale
- ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ lb lump crab meat or lobster
- ½ lb scallops (halved if large)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp flour (or almond flour)
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 cup seafood stock
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Gruyère or Parmesan
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- ½ cup panko or crushed pork rinds
- ¼ cup grated Gruyère or Parmesan
Instructions
- To create the flavorful base for your cassolette, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shallot and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Introduce the shrimp, scallops, and lump crab meat, stirring everything together and seasoning generously with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Sauté for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the seafood is just cooked through.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat slightly and add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour and let it cook for about a minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in ½ cup of dry white wine, allowing it to simmer for around 2 minutes. Pour in 1 cup of seafood stock and ½ cup of heavy cream, stirring continuously. Incorporate the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and half a cup of your choice of grated cheese, cooking until the sauce thickens.
- Once your sauce reaches a creamy consistency, bring the sautéed seafood back into the picture. Gently fold the seafood into the creamy sauce.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take small ramekins or a baking dish and spoon the seafood mixture evenly into each. In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with a quarter cup of cheese and sprinkle this mixture generously over the seafood filling. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
