Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup each of lobster and crab meat, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed seafood mixture with 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until creamy.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the jumbo shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain shells and let cool slightly.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk until a paste forms, then gradually pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, whisking for 3-4 minutes until thick. Stir in 0.5 cup of Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of sauce in a greased baking dish. Stuff each shell with seafood filling and place seam-side up in the dish. Pour remaining sauce over the shells.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs.
