  4. Pour the sauce over the seafood and fold gently, ensuring all the seafood is coated in the sauce.
  5. Spread the seafood mixture evenly in a greased casserole dish.
  6. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle over the seafood mixture. Add cheese for extra richness if desired.
Baking

Serving
  1. Enjoy your hearty seafood casserole warm, straight from the oven!

Notes

Use fresh seafood when possible for better flavor. A gluten-free alternative can be achieved with crushed crackers instead of breadcrumbs. Don't overbake to prevent rubbery seafood. Consider adding hot sauce for extra heat.
