1 tablespoon salt for cooking water
04 -
2/3 cup mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon butter, plus more to grease the pan

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
09 -
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 2.5-quart casserole dish with butter.
02 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add Old Bay seasoning. Add shrimp and cook until opaque, about 30 seconds. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
03 -
Add mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper to the shrimp. Stir to coat. Add cheeses and stir again. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
04 -
Melt the butter and stir it into the panko bread crumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp.
05 -
Bake uncovered for 13-15 minutes, or until the center reaches 145°F. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown the crumbs, then rest for 15 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Overcooking shrimp can make them rubbery, so ensure they are cooked just until opaque.
02 -
Freshly shredded cheese melts better and enhances flavor.
03 -
To achieve an extra crispy crust, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes after baking.
