Seafood Au Gratin Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Seafood
In a large skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat. Add the scallops, shrimp, crab, and crawfish tails. Cook until the seafood is just cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Mushrooms
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and the sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the sherry and cajun seasoning, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes until the liquid is reduced.

Make the Cheddar Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the grated aged cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
