• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Celery, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, finely diced
• 0.5 cup White mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 cup Dry sherry
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 8 pieces Baguette slices, toasted

Directions

Step 1

Season the oysters and shrimp with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the oysters and shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet with dry sherry, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Gradually add the Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Return the cooked oysters and shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat them in the cheese sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, paprika, and green onions over the top.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 12

Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices for dipping.
