This is quite rich, but oh so good. It can be made in individual gratin dishes also.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Rich, creamy, cheesy, and buttery, this shrimp au gratin is definitely not a recipe to try if you're watching calories. But, oh my, it's delicious! Super simple to make, it's impressive when presented. The sauce just melts in your mouth and Panko crumbs on top add a nice crunchy texture. Simply divine.

How To Make shrimp au gratin

  • Spraying a quiche pan with non-stick spray and preheating the oven.
    1
    Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly spray a quiche pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cooked shrimp placed into the quiche dish.
    2
    In a large skillet, heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the seasoning mix. Add shrimp and cook until just turning pink (shrimp will finish cooking in the oven), about 2 minutes. Stir in the chives. Remove mixture from pan into the prepared quiche pan.
  • Whisking together flour, milk, and cream.
    3
    Add remaining tablespoon butter to pan and when melted, whisk in flour. Do not allow flour to brown. Whisk in the milk and cream and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to thicken, 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and 1/2 cup of the jack cheese.
  • Spooning cream mixture over shrimp.
    4
    Remove from heat and spoon sauce evenly over shrimp.
  • Topping with cheese and Panko bread crumbs.
    5
    Sprinkle remaining cheeses over top and then sprinkle Panko evenly over that. LIGHTLY spray Panko with cooking spray to help brown.
  • Baking shrimp au gratin in the oven.
