Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup bread crumbs (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a little olive oil or butter.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink. Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth. Stir in half of the Parmesan cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese.
Layer the cooked spinach evenly on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with the cooked shrimp.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the shrimp and spinach, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and bread crumbs (if using) on top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
