• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 0.5 pounds scallops
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld together.

Step 5

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread a thin layer of the tomato mixture on the bottom of the dish.

Step 6

Arrange the shrimp, white fish cubes, and scallops evenly over the tomato base.

Step 7

Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the seafood, ensuring everything is well-coated.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the grated parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the seafood is fully cooked and the topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
