Stir in Cajun seasoning, sherry and Parmesan. Stir in half & half and cook for 5 minutes until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and add shrimp, crab and scallops, stirring well to incorporate. Spoon into your prepared dishes.
• 3. In a medium bowl combine baking mix, cornmeal, garlic powder and cheddar cheese; stir well to mix throughout. Slowly stir in your buttermilk until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon mixture over your seafood and spread liberally. Into the oven for 25 minutes at 350*and.........POW!!!!!!
