Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 pound small or medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh crab meat ( I use Dungeness but any crab will do)
  • 1/2-3/4 pound scallops
  • 1 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
  • 2/3 cup Panko or other bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Directions
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over very low heat.
  2. When the butter is completely melted, stir in the flour with a wooden spoon.
  3. Cook for about 1 minute over low heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Slowly add the milk. Using a whisk, stir briskly until you have a smooth sauce, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the wine, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cayenne and Old Bay and whisk again.
  6. Switch to the wooden spoon and keep stirring the white sauce until it is completely smooth and thickened. This will be very thick.
  7. Remove from the heat.
  8. Bring 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan and add the shrimp and scallops.
  9. When the water returns to a boil, cook for 1 minute. Drain immediately.
  10. Roughly chop the shrimp and scallops and put in a large mixing bowl.
  11. Add the crabmeat and, with your hands, toss gently to mix.
  12. Pour the sauce over the seafood. With a large spoon, gently combine, taking care not to break apart the crabmeat.
  13. Spray an 8-inch casserole dish with Pam and spoon in the seafood mixture.
  14. Place the grated cheese on top, completely covering the seafood mixture.
  15. Melt the remaining butter and stir in the bread crumbs coating them evenly.
  16. Spread the bread crumbs evenly over the top
  17. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbly.
