Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 pound sea scallops
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the shrimp and scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, then set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sauté the shrimp and scallops for 2-3 minutes, just until they start to turn opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the white wine, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, making sure they are evenly coated in the sauce. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Transfer the seafood mixture to a large, oven-safe baking dish.

Step 10

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan, parsley, and olive oil. Mix well.

Step 11

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the seafood in the baking dish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy this luxurious dish with a side of crusty bread or a light green salad!
