Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for the perfect golden crust.
  2. In a large skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp, scallops, and chunks of white fish, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and toss in minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in ½ cup of white wine and reduce by half over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Gradually stir in ½ cup of Parmesan and ½ cup of Gruyère cheese into the simmering cream until melted.
  6. Layer the sautéed seafood evenly in ramekins or a baking dish, then pour the creamy sauce over it.
  7. Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan and Gruyère, and breadcrumbs for crispy texture if desired.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Let rest for a few minutes, garnish with fresh herbs and lemon zest, then serve immediately.
