Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add lobster meat and crab meat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine sautéed seafood with cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well blended and creamy.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually add heavy cream, stirring, then mix in grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of cheese sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Fill each jumbo shell with the seafood filling and arrange them in the dish. Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the 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 about 5 minutes, garnish with extra Parmesan or herbs, and serve warm.
