How to Make Oven-Baked Shrimp and Spinach Gratin
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the spinach and cook until it wilts, roughly 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, stir together the heavy cream, Gruyère, Parmesan, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 5: Spread the wilted spinach evenly along the bottom of a baking dish.
Step 6: Lay the shrimp on top of the spinach in a single, even layer.
Step 7: Pour the creamy cheese mixture over the shrimp and spinach, making sure everything is coated.
Step 8: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden.
Step 9: Let it cool slightly before serving, then finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
