Notes
-If your casserole needs a little extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the cream mixture.
-For more heat, you can substitute habanero peppers for the jalapeños in this recipe.
-For a healthier alternative, use low-fat or skim milk and replace the butter with olive oil.
-If you don't have panko breadcrumbs on hand, feel free to substitute crushed crackers instead.
-Be sure to use fresh shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat for the best results.
-Fresh herbs are key in this recipe - don't skip them!
