MARITIME (CANADA) SEAFOOD CASSEROLE

Maritime (Canada) Seafood Casserole image

This is a seafood casserole recipe that we often make at Christmas or New Year's. We live in on the east coast of Canada so we have good access to seafood. You can change the quantities or types of seafood used. I usually don't use the crab meat, but increase the amount of lobster and shrimp I use. You can use haddock or salmon in it also. I usually use whatever I have on hand. The important thing is to use approximately the same volume of fish as stated in the recipe. I usually serve it over the flaky pastry shells, but you can also serve it in crepes or just by itself on the plate.

Cook the lobster meat properly. Lobster meat is delicate, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the lobster meat just until it is opaque and firm, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Use a variety of vegetables. The vegetables in the casserole add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Use a variety of vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and celery.
Don't skimp on the cheese. The cheese is what makes the casserole creamy and delicious. Use a good quality cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
Season the casserole well. Be sure to season the casserole with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for extra flavor.
