🦀🍤 Seafood Lovers’ Dream: Gourmet Cassolette

A dish so luxurious, it turns dinner into an experience.

💌 Introduction

This is not just dinner — it’s fine dining in a casserole dish.

The Seafood Cassolette is creamy, rich, and layered with flavor from the sea. Think buttery scallops, succulent shrimp, and tender crab meat, all tucked into a luxurious white wine sauce and baked to golden perfection.

It’s elegant enough for anniversaries, romantic nights in, or impressing guests…
But secretly? It’s not hard to make.
Just a little love, a little wine, and a lot of seafood.

📋 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

🐟 Seafood:

½ lb shrimp, peeled & deveined
½ lb scallops
½ lb lump crab meat (drained and picked for shells)

🥛 Sauce Base:

2 tbsp butter
1 small shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp flour
½ cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay)
½ cup seafood stock (or chicken broth)
¾ cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt & pepper to taste
A pinch of nutmeg (optional, for depth)

🧀 Topping:

½ cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp melted butter
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: more Parmesan for the top

👩‍🍳 Instructions & Method

🔥 Step 1: Preheat the oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

🍳 Step 2: Prepare the seafood

Pat the shrimp and scallops dry.
In a skillet, heat a touch of oil or butter and lightly sear the scallops and shrimp (1–2 minutes per side — just until opaque).
Set aside. (Don’t overcook — they’ll finish baking in the oven.)

🧄 Step 3: Make the creamy wine sauce

In the same pan, melt 2 tbsp butter.
Add shallots and garlic; sauté until translucent.
Stir in the flour, whisking constantly to form a light roux.
Slowly pour in the white wine and stock, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened.
Lower the heat, add cream, Parmesan, and Dijon mustard.
Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (optional).
Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until velvety.

🦞 Step 4: Assemble the cassolette

In a buttered baking dish, arrange the seafood.
Pour the cream sauce evenly over the top.
Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle generously.
Top with a little extra Parmesan if desired.

🔥 Step 5: Bake

Bake at 375°F for about 15–18 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for a crispy top.

🌿 Step 6: Garnish & Serve

Let it rest 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve with crusty bread, rice pilaf, or a simple salad.

📜 History & Formation

The Cassolette originated in French cuisine — traditionally served in a small ramekin or casserole, layered with luxury ingredients like mushrooms, foie gras, or seafood. It’s a dish that celebrates comfort and elegance, often found in bistros or served as a gourmet entrée.

Over time, it’s evolved from a fancy restaurant item to a beloved comfort food for those who adore seafood and creamy sauces — like a refined seafood gratin.
