Laura’s Seafood Thermidor

  4.6 – 7 reviews  • Crab

With a fantastic sauce, this is a fantastic side dish of stir-fried vegetables. Steamed brown or white rice is the ideal accompaniment.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. ½ cup butter
  2. 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  3. ½ pound fresh mushrooms, chopped
  4. ¼ pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (30-40 per pound)
  5. ¼ pound walleye fillets, cut into pieces
  6. ¼ pound cooked lobster meat, broken into chunks
  7. ¼ pound cooked crabmeat
  8. 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  9. ½ cup dry white wine (such as Chenin Blanc)
  10. 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of shrimp soup (such as Campbell’s®)
  11. 1 cup half-and-half cream
  12. 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  13. ¼ pound shredded Cheddar cheese
  14. ½ cup dry bread crumbs
  15. ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  16. ¼ cup cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven’s broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  2. Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions and mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and walleye; cook and stir until the shrimp have begun to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the lobster and crab, and cook a few minutes to heat.
  3. Stir in the sherry and white wine. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 2 minutes. Once the shrimp and walleye are no longer translucent in the center, stir in the cream of shrimp soup, half-and-half, 1 cup bread crumbs, and Cheddar cheese until the cheese has melted, and the mixture is bubbly. Pour into a casserole dish, and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Dot with the pieces of cold butter.
  4. Cook under the preheated broiler until the butter has melted and the bread crumbs are golden brown.

I don’t often take the time to leave a review. I found this recipe tonight while searching for something to do with some small walleye pieces I had. What a find!!! I used 1/4 lb walleye, 1/4 lb shrimp, and 1/2 lb crab (no lobster). I added some garlic and Old Bay, as a previous reviewer had suggested. Other than that I followed the recipe as written and it was divine. I will absolutely be making this in the future. My husband said it tasted like something we would eat in a fancy Charleston restaurant.

I will make it again it was amazing only thing i did different was put some old bay on the seafood and i melted the butter you put on top to make it more uniform color. Next time i will try it on pasta!

Very tasty. We like to spend our Saturday evening dinners tag-teaming in the kitchen, so this one was fun. I love lobster thermidor, so this recipe caught my interest. I usually follow the recipe closely the first time so I can appreciate the chef’s intent, and due to how we obtained our ingredients we doubled the walleye and lobster. Next time I’ll cut the bread crumbs in half because I like my thermidor a little more loose. Because it’s rich, we’re reserving this for future special occasions.

This was WONDERFUL and I shall make it again. I did however, make a few (minor?) changes. I did not use the cream of shrimp soup. I used swai (on sale for $.99!) for my fish fillet and large shrimp and no lobster (maybe could have doubled the crab…). Has a wonderful thin parmesan crisp on top. We served it with rice and stir fried brocolli. Goes to show…this can be good no matter what. I definitely recommend it as your guide to a good meal

Absolutely DELICIOUS!! My husband loved it! Used 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 lobster, cooking sherry and vermouth. Served over rice with green beans. Will definitely make again.

I made this for a party of 12 and it was delicious. I added some other flavors like one garlic clove, shallots, cayanne and parsley. I used 4 2lb Maine lobsters, lumb crab and small shrimp. I followed the calculations for 12 and had enough left over for another 4 people. Delicious and impressive.

I used all walleye, and it worked well! The combination of seafood would be good too (I’m sure), but in case you only have 1lb of shrimp or 1lb of fish… I would still recommend you give this recipe a try. Very rich dish. Salt and pepper added at the table made it perfect.
