How to Make Baked Stuffed Shrimp Casserole

Preparing the Oven and Baking Dish

  1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating up, grease a baking dish to prevent the shrimp from sticking.

Mixing the Ingredients

  1. Combine the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Assembling the Casserole

  1. Arrange the shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in the prepared baking dish, forming a single layer.
  2. Add the breadcrumb mixture: Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring that each shrimp is coated with the flavorful mixture.

Baking the Casserole

  1. Bake to perfection: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Serving the Dish

  1. Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and garnish with fresh lemon wedges. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of this Baked Stuffed Shrimp Casserole.

Helpful Tips

  • Freshness is key: Use the freshest shrimp you can find for the best flavor.
  • Even coating: Make sure each shrimp is well-coated with the breadcrumb mixture for a consistent taste in every bite.
  • Watch the oven: Keep an eye on the casserole as it bakes to avoid overcooking the shrimp.

Substitutions/Variations

  • Breadcrumbs: You can use regular breadcrumbs if you’re not gluten-sensitive.
  • Cheese: Try using Pecorino Romano or Asiago cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Herbs: Substitute parsley with cilantro or basil for a unique twist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes, you can use frozen shrimp, but make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before using them in the recipe.

How do I know when the shrimp are cooked?

The shrimp are done when they are pink and opaque. The breadcrumbs should also be golden brown.

Can I prepare this dish in advance?

You can prepare the breadcrumb mixture and have the shrimp ready, but it’s best to bake it just before serving to keep the shrimp tender and the breadcrumbs crispy.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or enjoy them cold as part of a salad!
