How to Make Baked Seafood Au Gratin

In a heavy skillet, sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, in 1/2 cup olive oil over medium heat until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned.
Stir in 1 pound lump crabmeat. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large Dutch oven, bring 4 cups water to a boil.
Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 pound scallops, and 1 pound flounder fillets. Simmer for 3 minutes.
Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Set seafood aside.
In a heavy saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter over low heat.
Whisk in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in 3 cups milk and 1 cup chicken broth along with the reserved 1 cup cooking liquid.
Increase heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup dry sherry, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.
Stir in the cooked seafood, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Press the crabmeat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Spoon the seafood mixture over the crabmeat crust and sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately.
