Method
 

1. Preheat Your Oven
  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it heats up, prepare the shrimp and sauce.
2. Sauté Garlic and Shrimp
  1. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Toss in the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat.
3. Mix the Creamy Base
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, mozzarella, half the Parmesan cheese, and the cooked shrimp. Stir well to coat the shrimp in the creamy, cheesy mixture.
4. Assemble the Gratin
  1. Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish and spread the shrimp mixture evenly across the dish.
5. Prepare the Topping
  1. In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the shrimp.
6. Bake to Perfection
  1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
7. Garnish and Serve
  1. Remove the gratin from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy this creamy masterpiece while it’s warm and cheesy!
