Use crab or lobster, or mix it up with some fish. I use individual au gratin dishes to serve. The sauce can be frozen before the topping is added.

Ingredients

½ cup butter
1 bunch green onions, chopped
½ pound fresh mushrooms, chopped
¼ pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (30-40 per pound)
¼ pound walleye fillets, cut into pieces
¼ pound cooked lobster meat, broken into chunks
¼ pound cooked crabmeat
2 tablespoons dry sherry
½ cup dry white wine (such as Chenin Blanc)
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of shrimp soup (such as Campbell's®)
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¼ pound shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup dry bread crumbs
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions and mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and walleye; cook and stir until the shrimp have begun to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the lobster and crab, and cook a few minutes to heat.
Stir in the sherry and white wine. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 2 minutes. Once the shrimp and walleye are no longer translucent in the center, stir in the cream of shrimp soup, half-and-half, 1 cup bread crumbs, and Cheddar cheese until the cheese has melted, and the mixture is bubbly. Pour into a casserole dish, and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Dot with the pieces of cold butter.
Cook under the preheated broiler until the butter has melted and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
