Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

tools needed
Mixing Bowl: For combining the crushed crackers, melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley to create the topping for the casserole.
Baking Dish (9x13 inches): To hold the scallops, shrimp, and cracker topping while baking in the oven. Be sure to grease it first.
what goes with it?
Garlic Parmesan Green Beans: Add a side of garlicky green beans to balance out the richness of the seafood casserole. The crisp texture and savory flavor of the green beans will provide a nice contrast to the buttery seafood.
Lemon Butter Asparagus: the bright and tangy flavors of asparagus tossed in lemony butter will add a zesty contrast to the rich, buttery seafood casserole.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon: the smoky and salty bacon paired with the roasted brussels sprouts will add layers of flavor that complement the seafood casserole beautifully.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe, once it was finally finished cooking. I used 1/3 of recipe ingred (approx. 1 lb scallops and 1 cup shrimp). Was not cooked @ 20 minutes, put back in oven for 10 more minutes; still not finished; ended up sticking ithe casserole in microwave for 10 additional minutes on high! My casserole dish was narrow and high, which is part of the reason for needing the extended cooking period. Next time, I plan to cook seafood for 3- 5 minutes on stove top, then will put seafood in the casserole dish and top with cracker crumbs, I think that will solve most of the lengthy cooking problem! Used 1 tsp garlic with butter ~ produced a very tasty topper! TY
