"Use crab or lobster, or mix it up with some fish. I use individual au gratin dishes to serve. The sauce can be frozen before the topping is added." — Laura Bossart

Directions

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions and mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and walleye; cook and stir until the shrimp have begun to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the lobster and crab, and cook a few minutes to heat.
Stir in the sherry and white wine. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 2 minutes. Once the shrimp and walleye are no longer translucent in the center, stir in the cream of shrimp soup, half-and-half, 1 cup bread crumbs, and Cheddar cheese until the cheese has melted, and the mixture is bubbly. Pour into a casserole dish, and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Dot with the pieces of cold butter.
Cook under the preheated broiler until the butter has melted and the bread crumbs are golden brown.

I made this for a party of 12 and it was delicious. I added some other flavors like one garlic clove, shallots, cayanne and parsley. I used 4 2lb Maine lobsters, lumb crab and small shrimp. I followed the calculations for 12 and had enough left over for another 4 people. Delicious and impressive.

I used all walleye, and it worked well! The combination of seafood would be good too (I'm sure), but in case you only have 1lb of shrimp or 1lb of fish... I would still recommend you give this recipe a try. Very rich dish. Salt and pepper added at the table made it perfect.

Absolutely DELICIOUS!! My husband loved it! Used 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 lobster, cooking sherry and vermouth. Served over rice with green beans. Will definitely make again.
