Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 ounces store-bought stuffing mix
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium celery stalk, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup (or cream of celery)
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or non-stick spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions, substituting chicken broth for the water for extra flavor. Once prepared, fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Stir until evenly mixed, then fold in the cooked onion, celery, and garlic mixture.

Step 5

Spread the raw shrimp evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish in a single layer.

Step 6

Top the shrimp with the creamy soup mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the shrimp completely.

Step 7

Carefully spoon the prepared stuffing over the top of the creamy layer, creating an even crust.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the stuffing layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked (pink and opaque) and the stuffing is golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your Shrimp and Stuffing Bake!
