Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Can opener

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb SHRIMP 8
  • oz CRAB MEAT
  • 1 can CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
  • 1/2 cup SOUR CREAM
  • 1 cup CHEDDAR CHEESE
  • 1 sleeve RITZ CRACKERS
  • 4 tbsp BUTTER
  • 1 medium ONION
  • 2 stalks CELERY
  • 2 cloves GARLIC
  • 1 tsp PAPRIKA
  • 1/2 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Let the oven get hot while you prep.

Step 2:

  • Grease your large baking dish with some butter. This prevents the seafood from sticking.

Step 3:

  • Place the skillet over medium heat now. Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan.

Step 4:

  • Add the onions and celery to the skillet. Sauté them until they are very soft.

Step 5:

  • Add the minced garlic to the vegetables. Cook for just one minute until fragrant.

Step 6:

  • In a bowl, mix the soup and cream. Whisk them until the mixture is very smooth.

Step 7:

  • Stir in the black pepper and paprika. This adds flavor to your creamy sauce.

Step 8:

  • Add the raw shrimp to the mixing bowl. Then add the sweet crab meat carefully.

Step 9:

  • Pour in the cooked vegetables from the skillet. Stir everything together very gently now.

Step 10:

  • Pour the mixture into your greased dish. Spread it out so it is very even.

Step 11:

  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Use a lot for a cheesy crust.

Step 12:

  • Crush the Ritz crackers in a small bag. Mix them with the remaining melted butter.

Step 13:

  • Spread the buttery crackers over the cheese. This will be your crunchy top layer.

Step 14:

  • Place the dish in the hot oven. Bake it for about thirty minutes total.

Step 15:

  • Wait for the top to turn golden. The sauce should be bubbling on the sides.

Step 16:

  • Remove the dish from the oven carefully. Let it sit for five minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh seafood for the very best taste.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp in the oven.
  • Add a little lemon juice for extra zip.
  • Make sure the cracker crumbs are small.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for more richness.
  • Sharp cheese provides the best flavor profile.
  • Check the oven often during the last minutes.
