Ingredients:

- 1 pound Dungeness crab meat
- 1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk

Instructions:

2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent.

3. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the flour is lightly golden.

5. Stir in the white wine and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Add the Gruyere and half of the Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and well combined.

7. Gently fold in the crab meat, shrimp, and prawns until evenly coated with the cheese sauce.

8. Transfer the seafood mixture to a large casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

9. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the casserole.

10. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

12. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

13. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
