Equipment

  • large skillet
  • oven
  • Cassolette dishes or baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • ½ cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • Toasted bread crumbs for topping
  • Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Seafood: Rinse the seafood under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the Seafood: Stir in the mixed seafood and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the seafood to begin to cook through.
  • Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the white wine, stirring to lift any browned bits from the bottom. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Prepare the Sauce: Reduce heat to low, then add the heavy cream, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Preheat the Oven: While the sauce is simmering, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Assemble the Cassolette: Pour the seafood mixture into individual cassolette dishes or a large baking dish. Sprinkle the top generously with grated Gruyère cheese and toasted bread crumbs.
  • Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  • Rest: Remove the cassolette from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish: Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zest.
