Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté 2 minced garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chopped lobster and crab meat, cooking until heated through, around 3–5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked seafood mixture with 8 ounces of cream cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste; mix until smooth.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 12 jumbo pasta shells until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and rinse gently with cold water.
- In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour for about 2 minutes. Gradually stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese until thickened.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Fill each shell with seafood mixture and place seam-side up. Pour remaining sauce over shells.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan.
