Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
-
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet, then cook 4 ounces thinly sliced mushrooms until tender and most liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes.
-
Butter a 1 1/2-quart broiler-safe casserole dish. Combine 12-16 ounces chopped cooked shrimp, 8 ounces chopped cooked lobster, and 4 ounces chopped cooked crabmeat in the dish; then scatter the cooked mushrooms over the seafood.
-
In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter, then stir in 1/4 cup flour until thick, smooth, and bubbly, cooking for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Reduce heat to low, gradually whisk in 2 cups milk, and cook until the sauce thickens and bubbles. Stir in 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 2 teaspoons chives, 2 teaspoons parsley, and 2 tablespoons dry white wine or sherry.
-
Pour the sauce over the seafood-mushroom mixture, gently fold to combine, smooth the top, and sprinkle with 2-4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Bake for 20 minutes until warmed through. Then, set the broiler to high and broil for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the top is browned. Serve immediately.
