Scale
- 200 grams of fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

Instructions

- Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and pour the seafood mixture into it, spreading evenly.

- For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream and dairy-free cheese.
- Consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce for richer flavor.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
