Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a baking or casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Cook the shells according to package directions, but for 1 minute less than called for "al dente". Remove and drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet. Dampen 2 paper towels and place them on top of shells to keep them moist. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in medium saucepan. Add the onion and mushrooms, saute for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside. Do not wipe out the saucepan.
- Add the flour and whisk into the remaining butter to make a roux (paste). Blend until smooth and bubbly. Whisk in the milk, half and half, white pepper and salt. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Ladle 1/2 cup of hot sauce to a small dish, while whisking, add the egg yolks. Whisk together fully and then slowly add to the rest of the sauce. Whisk again. Sauce will thicken.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and sherry. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the cooked seafood with the mushroom mixture, parsley and 3/4 cup of the cream sauce. Stuff the mixture into shells. Arrange in the prepared casserole dish.
- Ladle the remaining sauce over stuffed shells and top with the Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
