Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup gruyere cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking continuously to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the parmesan and gruyere cheeses. Mix until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes, just until they begin to turn pink. Remove from heat; they will finish cooking in the oven.
Spread the cooked shrimp evenly in a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the shrimp, spreading it evenly to cover them.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the breadcrumbs and chopped parsley.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly on top of the cheese sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
