Start by making a seafood stock using leftover crab shells and better than bouillon lobster base.

Chop up 2 stalks of celery, 1 onion, and some carrots (no need to peel) for the stock.

In a large stockpot, add crab shells, chopped vegetables, thyme, peppercorns, and 1 tablespoon of lobster base.

Cover with store-bought chicken or seafood stock and bring to a boil for about an hour.

After an hour, strain the broth and set it aside.

Prepare the trinity of vegetables: bell pepper, celery, and onion, chopping them into fine pieces.

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt 1 stick of butter and add the chopped trinity, cooking until soft.

Add thyme, all-purpose seasoning, and juicy crab seasoning to the vegetables, mixing well.

Add 1 pound of bay scallops and 1 pound of medium-sized shrimp to the pot, seasoning with juicy crab seasoning and all-purpose seasoning.

After a few minutes, add the 0.5 pound of lump crab meat to the mixture.

Gradually add 4 cups of broth and 4 cups of bread to the mixture, folding until the desired consistency is reached.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more thyme and all-purpose seasoning if desired.

Once seasoned to preference, add 1 beaten egg and fold it into the mixture.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Transfer the mixture to a 9x11 casserole dish.
