Shrimp have entered a completely new crispy, crunchy territory. With this recipe for Crispy Shrimp Casserole, shrimp are quickly prepped with a flavorful coating and baked and broiled until textural perfection!

First, the shrimp are coated in a seasoned mayonnaise, which helps the coating stick to the shrimp, which gets coated with cheese.

A sprinkling of bread crumbs and melted butter are garnished on top before getting baked in the oven.

A few final minutes of broiling give this Crispy Shrimp Casserole an extra dose of crunch.

These shrimp have a creamy sauce coating every inch, but it also has a crunchy topping that has a straight-from-the-deep fryer taste without the messy greasiness of frying. The mayonnaise and cheese protect the shrimp from drying out, while the breadcrumbs are baked to golden perfection thanks to the butter and high heat.

This recipe is a great quick way to utilize fresh or frozen shrimp. You can even prepare the shrimp in the mayonnaise and cheese ahead of time, only garnishing them with breadcrumbs right before you pop them in the oven.

While these can be an appetizer all to themselves, these shrimp would be great protein alongside seasoned rice pilaf or roasted potatoes and veggies. You might want to make a double batch of these shrimp; they’re something you won’t want to share!
