Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 can (14 oz) canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Slowly pour in the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Add the cooked shrimp and artichoke hearts to the sauce, stirring gently to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
