Notes
For a faster prep, use a hand mixer to cream the base, and fold in seafood gently to keep lumps intact. If you prefer a browned top, pop under the broiler for 1–2 minutes — watch carefully. For storage, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
