Ingredients

Units Scale

For the seafood filling:

  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb crab meat
  • 1/2 lb clams, cleaned
  • 1/2 lb halibut, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups heavy cream

For the cheesy mashed potatoes:

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 oz cheddar cheese, grated
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes (10 minutes): Begin by boiling the potatoes in salted water until they’re fork-tender.
  2. Mash (5 minutes): Once done, drain and mash them, incorporating the milk, butter, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper and then set aside.
  3. Cook onions and garlic (7 minutes): In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onions until they become translucent. Add the minced garlic, sautéing for another 1-2 minutes.

  5. Add the cream (5 minutes): Gently pour in the heavy cream, allowing the ensemble to simmer until it achieves a slightly thickened consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer to baking dish (3 minutes): Transfer this seafood mix into a baking dish. Layer the cheesy mashed potatoes over the top with care.
  7. Bake until golden (20 minutes): Proceed to bake in an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) until the mashed potato surface attains a delightful golden brown tint.

Notes

To optimize its richness, always opt for fresh seafood and permit the cream sauce to reach its ideal thickness patiently. Complement your meal with a refreshing green salad or steam-cooked vegetables. A chilled glass of white wine, perhaps a Sauvignon Blanc, pairs splendidly. Relish this dish while it’s hot to fully immerse in its layered flavors.
