Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 ounces store-bought stuffing mix
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup (or cream of celery)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray and set aside.
Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions, substituting chicken broth for the water for extra flavor. Once prepared, fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Stir until evenly mixed, then fold in the cooked onion, celery, and garlic mixture.
Spread the raw shrimp evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish in a single layer.
Top the shrimp with the creamy soup mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the shrimp completely.
Carefully spoon the prepared stuffing over the top of the creamy layer, creating an even crust.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the stuffing layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked (pink and opaque) and the stuffing is golden brown on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your Shrimp and Stuffing Bake!
