For a richer flavor, use clarified butter for sautéing. Add a splash of dry white wine to the seafood mixture for extra depth of flavor. If you don't have fresh bread crumbs, you can use dried bread crumbs, but be sure to adjust the amount of butter accordingly. Feel free to customize the seafood stuffing with other ingredients like scallops or lobster. Ensure the grill is not too hot to prevent burning the bottom of the foil packet.
