  • ½ cup unsalted butter

  • 4 ounces peeled and deveined medium shrimp (30-40 per pound)

  • 4 ounces walleye fillets, cut into pieces

  • 4 ounces cooked lobster meat, broken into chunks

  • 4 ounces cooked crabmeat

  • ½ cup dry white wine (such as Chenin Blanc)

  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry

  • 1 ½ cups dry bread crumbs, divided

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of shrimp soup (such as Campbell's)

  • 1 cup half-and-half

  • 4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  2. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and green onions; cook and stir until mushrooms softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp and walleye; cook and stir until shrimp begin to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add lobster and crab; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.

  3. Stir in white wine and sherry; bring to a simmer and cook until shrimp and walleye are no longer translucent in centers, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup bread crumbs, soup, half-and-half, and Cheddar cheese until cheese melted and mixture is bubbly. Transfer to a casserole dish; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dot with cold butter.

  4. Cook under the preheated broiler until butter has melted and bread crumbs are golden brown.
