Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 large eggs
- 240 milliliters whole milk
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 200 grams shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams cooked white rice (optional for layering)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Spread the optional cooked white rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Arrange the cooked shrimp and vegetable mixture on top.
Pour the egg mixture over the shrimp and rice layer, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the egg mixture is set in the center.
Remove from oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Slice into portions and serve warm. This casserole pairs well with a side salad or fresh fruit.
