Sarasota's Spinach and Shrimp Strata image

Another recipe out of the archives - no idea where this came from. I often found recipes in the paper, magazines, small book and changed them up and then wrote them on my index card and filed them. Well where ever it originated ... it is a great simple recipe. It is so easy, the only down fall is it has to set over night or all day before baking and then it takes almost a hour to bake. But it is well worth it. I made this a few weeks ago for a friend. Put it together in the am, dropped it off and told her to bake at 350 for 40 -50 minutes. She absolutely loved it and has made it again already.

Time 8h40m

Yield 8-10 , 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 slices French bread, don't use baguettes, use French bread (1/2-inch)
1 lb medium shrimp, precooked (I just asked my seafood guy at the grocery store to steam mine, they don't charge)
1 (1 lb) package frozen chopped spinach, drained well
1 medium onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
1 large tomatoes, thin sliced in 6-8 slices
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers (I just rough cut with my kitchen shears)
1/2 cup pesto sauce (store bought)
8 ounces shredded gouda cheese
8 eggs
2 cups milk (no cream)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Base -- Spray a 13x9" pan with Pam or a non stick spray. Arrange the slices of bread on the bottom, and make sure to cover the entire bottom. Cut smaller pieces to fill in the empty spaces.
  • Strata -- Spread the pesto over the bread making sure to coat everything, and then cover with 1/2 the cheese, 1 cup. Layer with the shrimp, spinach, red peppers, onion and finish with the remaining 1 cup of the cheese.
  • Egg -- Mix the eggs, milk, salt and pepper well and pour over the casserole. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate over night. Eight (8) hours is required, but don't let it cover over 12 hours.
  • Bake -- Remove from the refrigerator and let it warm up a bit so It isn't ice cold. Cover with foil if not already and bake in a 350 degree oven, middle rack for 30 minutes. Remove and arrange the tomatoes slices on the casserole and continue to bake covered for another 15-20 minutes (45 min) is the right time for my oven, but just check by inserting a knife in the center. When it comes out clean it is done.
  • If you want - you can put the dish under the broiler for just 3-4 minutes to broil the tomatoes, but I don't mind if they aren't browned. It is a nice texture to me to have the fresh tomatoes on the top.
  • Serve -- Make sure to let the strata set 15 minutes before serving. ENJOY!
  • Prep time includes the overnight rest.

This strata was easy to make and very tasty. I used frozen spinach and shrimp, and it still turned out great. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This strata was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more cheese and spices next time.
