Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a large mixing bowl and combine the cooked crab and shrimp. I find that gently folding in these delightful seafood jewels ensures they stay in nice chunks throughout the casserole. Next, add the sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good stir until it’s well combined and creamy. The aroma will already start to tickle your senses! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
