Calvin's Seafood au Gratin





1/2 pound scallops
1/2 pound large shrimp or prawns
1/2 pound crab meat (I use imitation, mea culpa)
1 bunch green onions, chopped into 1 inch lengths
butter
olive oil
4 cloves garlic
8 oz soft goat cheese
4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
1 to 2 oz freshly grated Parmesan
1 egg
2 Tbsp whipping cream
salt
white pepper
nutmeg

12 to 16 oz cheese tortellini, cooked

Heat olive oil and butter.
Smash garlic and saute lightly.
Add scallops and brown lightly.
Add green onions and stir to mix. Saute for about 1 minute.
Remove from heat.

Mix goat cheese, and half Parmesan cheese in bowl.
Beat egg lightly with whipping cream and add to cheese. Stir to mix.
Mix in mozzarella, cooked scallop mixture, and rest of seafood. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Gently stir in cooked tortellini.

Grease four au gratin dishes. (I have four round ones with handles that I really like but you can use any small individual sized casserole dish. You will serve this in the baking dishes.)

Divide into four equal portions and top with the rest of the Parmesan cheese. Bake twenty minutes, then broil for three or four to brown the Parmesan cheese. Serve with some sort of vegetable side dish.

I made this up the other day cause I wanted something different and it was incredible. I left out the pasta because I am not eating carbs right now, and used 1/3 pound of each seafood and it fed my roommate and I with no leftovers (and no vegetables or side dishes).
