Season the seafood with Old Bay seasoning, ground black pepper, and sea salt, mixing until coated.

Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil and non-stick spray, then layer the seafood on it.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

In a skillet, heat olive oil and add chopped bacon, sautéing until cooked.

Add diced yellow onions and chopped garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onions are translucent.

Stir in bell peppers and corn, then add more Old Bay seasoning.

Melt two sticks of butter in the skillet with the vegetable mixture.

Once the seafood is baked, combine it with the cooked vegetable mixture and melted butter without draining the juices.

Crush the Ritz crackers coarsely and mix them into the seafood and vegetable mixture.

Add grated parmesan cheese and lemon pepper seasoning, along with most of the fresh herbs, saving some for garnish.

Mix everything together until well combined, adding a splash of lemon juice for flavor.

Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish.

Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F until set, then switch to broil to create a crust on top.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
