1 cup seafood stock or clam juice
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons good white wine, such as Chablis, divided
3 tablespoons tomato puree
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
8 ounces raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cut in half crosswise
8 ounces raw halibut, cut into1-inch chunks

2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
3 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped celery
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese, divided
1 pound shelled, deveined cooked shrimp
1 pinch paprika, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan, and cook the onion and celery over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese; whisk until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
  • Spread the cooked rice out into the prepared baking dish, and top with the cooked shrimp in an even layer. Cover the shrimp with the cheese sauce; push the tines of a fork all over the casserole between the shrimp to allow the sauce to soak into the rice. Top the casserole with the remaining Cheddar cheese, and garnish with paprika.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 30 minutes.

SHEET-PAN SHRIMP GRATIN



Sheet-Pan Shrimp Gratin image

The best part of a gratin is the crispy crust, and, here in this shallow sheet-pan version, there's more of it. Flaky panko bread crumbs - with a sprinkling of mozzarella and Gruyère - form a crisp, almost chiplike topping that tastes not unlike the edges of garlicky, cheesy Texas toast. In fact, the topping comes off in large, snackable pieces. As this bakes (for just 10 minutes!), the spice blend perfumes the kitchen, thanks to herbes de Provence. The shiitakes add earthy heft and incredible umami, but for a more delicately flavored gratin, you can leave them out. Serve this with a big green salad or eat it straight out of the pan.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 pound peeled, deveined shrimp, tails removed, shrimp cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini or yellow squash, thinly sliced crosswise into coins
3 1/2 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, tough stems removed, caps thinly sliced
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon herbes de Provence
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1/4 cup finely grated Gruyère
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp, zucchini, mushrooms, shallot, garlic, paprika, red-pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon herbes de Provence, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper and 1 tablespoon oil until well combined. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch sheet pan or shallow baking dish in a single layer.
  • In the now-empty bowl, toss the panko with a pinch of salt, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and ¼ teaspoon herbes de Provence to combine. Evenly pour the cream over the shrimp mixture in the pan, covering all the nooks and crannies. Sprinkle the panko mixture over the shrimp, then top first with the mozzarella, followed by the Gruyère.
  • Bake until the cream is bubbling and the panko and cheese are light golden brown all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with the fresh lemon wedges, which should be squeezed over the gratin just before serving.
