Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- 8 oz haddock, cleaned and skinned, cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
- 1 lb scallops
- 1 lb large shrimp, cleaned and deveined
Seasonings & Cheese
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (can use up to 3/4 cup if desired)
- 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Paprika, to taste
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Other
- Cooking spray for greasing baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the seafood casserole.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 7 x 11 inch glass or ceramic baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Seafood: Place the chopped haddock chunks evenly in the baking dish, then add the cleaned shrimp and scallops on top. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Add Garlic: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the seafood, allowing its aroma to infuse the dish.
- Add Cream and Cheese: Pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream over the seafood mixture, then sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly on top for a rich and creamy base.
- Season and Top: Lightly dust the surface with paprika for a hint of color and flavor, then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top to add a savory crust during baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Monitor closely to avoid overcooking, especially the shrimp, which can become tough if baked too long.
- Serve: Remove from the oven once the cheese is melted and bubbly and the seafood is cooked through but still tender. Serve warm immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the haddock is well cleaned and skinned before use for the best texture.
- Fresh or frozen scallops and shrimp can be used; ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
- Do not overbake to prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery.
- Adjust cream quantity slightly for preferred sauce thickness.
