Steps:

Preheat oven at 400 degrees In a large pot of salted water add the potatoes, carrots, Celery. Boil until veggies are soft
In a wok or large skillet add 1 cup milk , 2 tbs of fish sauce, green onions and lemon juice. Bring to a nice simmer and add the fish ( not the shrimp). Allow it to simmer for about 6--7 minutes, turning the fish at 3 minutes. At the last minute, add the shrimp. Cook for 1 minute more and remove from heat.. Spoon our the fish, shrimp and green onions, lemon juice and place it in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Spread it out evenly. Do not remove the liquid.
Remove the veggie from the pot with a strainer and return to the pot. Chop up the veggies gently ( you don't want to mash it, just make it choppy, it should have the consistency of something like potatoes salad) Now, add the half stick (sliced) butter to the mix and combine gently. Put the mixture over the fish and spread evenly.
Take the remaining milk and return it to the stove on medium heat. Add another cup of milk and the other 2 Tbs of fish sauce, and allow it to start to boil. Add cornstarch, a tsp at a time. Stirring well. And reduce the mixture to a nice thick broth. Once thickened, pour it over the veggies and fish.
Top with paprika and Add the cheddar. The to the oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly brown. Have a sheet pan under the dish for accidental spillage.
Once done allow to rest for 10 minutes. Then serve.
