Preparation
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sauté 2 minced garlic cloves for 1 minute until fragrant, then add 1 cup of chopped lobster and 1 cup of crab meat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed seafood with 8 ounces of cream cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the jumbo pasta shells for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and cool slightly.
- In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour for about 1 minute, then gradually add 2 cups of heavy cream while whisking until thickened.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Stuff the pasta shells with the seafood filling and arrange them in the dish.
- Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the stuffed shells and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes, remove foil, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs.

Notes
