Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 0.5 cup Cooked crab meat
• 0.5 cup Scallops
• 1.5 cups Cooked rice or pasta
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a smooth roux.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 4

Stir in the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Continue to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, crab meat, scallops, and cooked rice or pasta. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and gently mix until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the seafood mixture to a lightly greased small casserole dish.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
