Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook vermicelli pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and break into 2-inch lengths.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add sliced scallions and sauté until softened.
  4. Stir in flour to coat the scallions and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken stock, clam juice, white wine, heavy cream, and dried basil until smooth.
  6. Simmer the sauce gently, stirring frequently, until thickened.
  7. Stir in the mixed crab and shrimp, along with 1/4 cup of the grated cheese. Remove from heat and set aside.
  8. In the same skillet (or a clean one), melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter.
  9. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic; sauté until mushrooms are tender and garlic is fragrant.
  10. Combine the mushroom mixture with the seafood sauce mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  11. Fold in the cooked vermicelli pasta until evenly coated with the sauce.
  12. Pour the mixture into a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish.
  13. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese.
  14. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
