🍽️ Recipe Description
This fish and shrimp casserole (cassolette de poissons et crevettes) is a rich, creamy seafood bake inspired by French comfort cooking. Tender fish and juicy shrimp are simmered in a silky sauce, then baked until golden and bubbling.
It’s elegant enough for guests, but simple enough for a cozy dinner at home.
