Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 pound lump crabmeat
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Season the sauce with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Gently fold in the lump crabmeat and shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, followed by the breadcrumbs.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden brown on top.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
