Yummy, rich easy recipe; great for when you have guests as much of the prep can be done ahead.
Mix the seafood with sherry, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; blend in flour then stir in the half-and-half. Add salt and continue cooking and stirring until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Combine beaten egg yolk with the heavy cream. Add to the sauce, stirring constantly. Add cheese. Continue to cook, stirring, until well blended and cheese is melted. Add the seafood with its marinade. Heat thoroughly, about 5- 10 minutes longer. If too thick, can add a little milk. Serve over polenta, pastry shells, rice, pasta or toast points as desired, sprinkle with cayenne as desired.
Can subsititute or add other types of shellfish such as lobster, or scallops. Also nice with some mushrooms added as well.
Can reduce calories by exchanging milk for half and half
