- Make the sauce: In the same pan, sauté shallots, then deglaze with white wine. Stir in cream, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and herbs. Let it simmer until slightly thickened.
- Combine: Gently fold in the seafood and spoon the mixture into individual ramekins or one large baking dish.
- Top it off: Sprinkle with grated cheese and breadcrumbs, or cover with puff pastry for a golden crust.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbling—about 15–20 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs and a wedge of lemon.
Perfect Pairings
- Serve with crusty French bread or a warm baguette
- Pair with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay
- Add a light green salad with a citrus vinaigrette to balance the richness
