This was a good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used fresh crab and shrimp, and I added a bit of Old Bay seasoning to the breadcrumb topping. It turned out great!

I was disappointed with this dish. The crab and shrimp were overcooked and the cheese sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.
