Units
Scale
- 200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200g scallops, cleaned
- 200g white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut), cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup fish stock (or vegetable stock)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for greasing the cassolette dishes)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease the cassolette or small ramekin dishes with olive oil.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the shallot and garlic until soft and fragrant.
- Add the shrimp, scallops, and fish to the skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the seafood is just cooked through (it will continue to cook in the oven). Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add white wine, heavy cream, fish stock, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked seafood back into the sauce and stir gently to combine.
- Pour the seafood mixture into the prepared cassolette dishes.
- Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs (optional).
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden and bubbly on top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
- If you don’t have cassolette dishes, any small ramekins or oven-safe bowls will work.
- For extra flavor, use lobster stock instead of fish stock.
- This dish pairs well with a crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.
