• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup Cooked crab meat
• 1 cup Cooked scallops, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 2

Sprinkle the flour into the pot and whisk for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the white wine while whisking to prevent lumps. Gradually add the chicken or seafood stock, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture warm through but do not allow it to boil.

Step 5

Gradually add the shredded Gruyere and grated Parmesan cheese to the pot, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth.

Step 6

Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, crab meat, and scallops. Add the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Transfer the warm seafood fondue to a fondue pot or heatproof serving dish to keep warm.

Step 8

Serve with cubed French bread, blanched vegetables, or other dippables of your choice. Enjoy immediately!
