Ingredients

Baked Fish and Shrimp
- 3 pounds red snapper fillets
- 1 ½ pounds medium-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
- 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Cream Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ¼ cup chopped celery
- ¼ cup chopped bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Slap Ya Mama®), or more to taste
- 2 cups half-and-half, or more as needed
- 3 tablespoons sherry
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon ground thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Melt butter for cream sauce in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables soften and onion turns translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk flour and Creole seasoning into onion mixture to make a paste. Slowly add half-and-half, whisking constantly. Whisk in sherry, lemon juice, basil, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add mozzarella; stir until melted and combined.
Step 4
Lightly season snapper and shrimp on both sides with seafood seasoning. Arrange snapper in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Top with shrimp and mushrooms. Pour cream sauce over top. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
Step 5
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 30 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
This recipe works for any white fish. In the sauce, you can substitute white wine for the sherry and Parmesan for the mozzarella and Cheddar cheese blend.
