Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces pasta cooked according to package directions
  • 4 ounces butter
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 8 ounces Parmesan cheese grated
  • 8 ounces shrimp cooked, peeled, and deveined
  • 1 unit Roma tomato cut into small pieces
  • 2 teaspoons parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese for topping
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Skillet
  • Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain and set aside. This will serve as the perfect base for your baked shrimp.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the 4 ounces of butter. Once melted, add the pint of heavy cream and stir gently. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
  3. Gradually whisk in the 8 ounces of grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and combined. Next, fold in the cooked shrimp, ensuring that each piece is well-coated in the creamy sauce.
  4. In a large baking dish, combine the cooked pasta with the creamy shrimp mixture. Gently stir in the Roma tomato pieces and chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, 2 teaspoons of Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are well-coated.
  6. Spread the shrimp and pasta mixture evenly in the baking dish. Then, sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously over the top. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or in the microwave for a quick meal.
  • For best results, do not freeze this dish, as the creamy sauce may separate upon thawing.
