Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial as it ensures that the casserole bakes evenly and reaches that tremendous golden-brown finish.
-
In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, shrimp, cooked rice, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, milk, green onions, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Carefully use a spatula to fold in the ingredients gently, so the delicacy of the crab and shrimp remains intact.
-
Mix well until all ingredients are combined. The mixture should be rich and creamy, bursting with flavors. This is what makes the dish so tremendous as it showcases the freshness of the seafood.
