Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp
• 1 pound sea scallops
• 0.5 pound lump crab meat
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Remove from heat and set the sauce aside.

Step 5

In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the shrimp and scallops for 2 minutes, just until slightly opaque. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 6

In the prepared baking dish, layer the shrimp, scallops, and lump crab meat evenly. Pour the cream sauce over the seafood, spreading it to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, and fresh parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the seafood and sauce.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the seafood is fully cooked.

Step 9

Let the seafood bake rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
