Notes
Note 1: You don't want the vegetables and seafood to be fully cooked at this point as they will cook in the oven. Otherwise, the vegetables will be mushy and the seafood can get tough and rubbery.
Storage: Leftover seafood casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it in the oven or microwave in small interval until it's fully heated through. I don't recommend freezing it.
