✅ Seafood Lovers’ Dream: Gourmet Cassolette Recipe 🦀🍤
Introduction
Looking to impress your dinner guests or simply spoil yourself with a little decadence? This Seafood Cassolette is a warm, creamy, savory seafood bake that brings together shrimp, scallops, and crab in a rich, oven-baked dish that tastes like a five-star restaurant special. All made at home, with just a handful of ingredients.

Origin and Cultural Significance
The word cassolette comes from French cuisine, referring to small, individual-sized casseroles often used for rich, savory dishes. Seafood cassolettes are beloved along coastal regions of France, where fresh ocean bounty is baked in creamy sauces or wine reductions. Today, we take that luxurious concept and make it easy for the home cook—no passport required!
