Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds large shrimp (21-24 count), peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning, plus 1 tablespoon salt for cooking water
  • 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
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded medium cheddar cheese

  2. Cook shrimp: 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.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add mayonnaise, garlic powder, and pepper to the shrimp. Stir to coat. Add cheeses and stir again. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
  4. Make topping: Melt butter and stir in bread crumbs. Sprinkle over the shrimp mixture.

Notes

  • If you see excess liquid in the casserole after baking, soak it up with a paper towel.
  • You can use different sizes of baking dishes, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • To make ahead, prepare the shrimp filling and refrigerate for up to 3 days before baking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for 2-3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
