Filling Preparation
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup each of diced carrots and celery, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of heavy cream until smooth. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Fold in 1 pound of shrimp, 1 cup of crab meat, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley. Cook just until shrimp turn pink, about 2-3 minutes.
