Ingredients
- ½pound peeled, deveined shrimp, tails removed, shrimp cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1medium zucchini or yellow squash, thinly sliced crosswise into coins
- 3½ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, tough stems removed, caps thinly sliced
- 1large shallot, thinly sliced
- 2large garlic cloves, finely grated
- 1teaspoon sweet paprika
- ¼ to ½teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- ¾teaspoon herbes de Provence
- Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
- 3tablespoons olive oil
- 1cup panko bread crumbs
- ½cup heavy cream
- ½cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
- ¼cup finely grated Gruyère
- 1lemon, cut into wedges
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Step 2
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.
- Step 3
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.
- Step 4
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.

Cooking Notes
Are the shrimp pre-cooked, or no?
Half a pound of shrimp along with the rest of the recipe will serve precisely one. ME. :)
1/2 lb. of shrimp to serve 4? 2 oz./person? Hardly seems like enough.
I made this exactly as written - it was incredibly delicious and simple to prepare. Adding the juice of one lemon just before serving gave it such a nice bright flavor, and I might add some lemon zest to the panko bread crumbs the next time around. Wonderful!
Found the moisture from the raw zucchini and shiitake permeated the crust which became soggy a few minutes out of the oven. I would sauté or bake veggies first to dry them out and then add to raw shrimp and other ingredients before baking the gratin
Regarding serving sizes - Two of us greatly enjoyed the dish and had only about 1/4 of the gratin left over. We would have felt short-changed if we'd had to serve it to four people.
Cod au gratin is a classic recipe in Newfoundland where my husband is from, so we are definitely pro fish and cheese combos - and given we are both allergic to shellfish, going to try this with white fish subbed in for a modern twist on that nostalgic dish!
I have some lump crab on hand, and will attempt to crabifiy this recipe in lieu of the shrimp. Why not, right? #NoRules
Made the dish as written except for the shrimp, substituting a pound of cod loin cut into cubes. The result was four reasonably sized portions. My doctor encourages me to eat more fish, although I don’t think he meant for it to be rich with cream and cheese. Baby steps…
Re-read what the ingredients list says. As written it says "...peeled, deveined shrimp, tails removed ...." No where in that does it say anything about cooked shrimp. If the recipe called for cooked shrimp, it would say cooked shrimp.
Small broccoli florets would work.
Assuming they are raw, because shrimp will cook quickly in the oven during the suggested time.
1/2 pound shrimp is not nearly enough for four people. I don’t think it’s even enough for two if they really like their shrimp and if this is intend to be a one dish meal. Haven’t tried it yet, but when I do, I’ll use 1 pound for my husband and me and if I have leftovers? Lunch the next day!
Step 3: "Evenly pour the cream over the shrimp mixture in the pan . . . then top first with the mozzarella, followed by the Gruyère.
How come extra lump crab never happens to me? #LivingWrong Yes, crabify!!
Great. Easy. Can mostly prepare ahead. Serve with rice and salad.
I thought cheese was never supposed to go on seafood
Absolutely delicious! Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out wonderful! A keeper! Thank you, Eric!
This was one of the strangest flavor profiles I’ve ever had. I don’t want to use repulsive but it brings to mind flavor combos like coffee and Buffalo sauce.
I've made this a few times -- never with squash, once with maitake mushrooms (excellent), once with piopinni mushrooms (not as good), once with regular breadcrumbs (not as good as Japanese and be careful, as they burn around the edges more easily), once with bay scallops (very good), always with bacon bits (also good) and always with half & half instead of cream. It's a great recipe!
I made this for 6 pp. Accidentally bought too much shrimp (didn't read the recipe carefully enough, so had closer to 3 lbs) A 1/2 lb shrimp per person is usually right, but with the cream, cheese etc. this is pretty rich and filling. I added extra veg. It was very good, and several of us took leftovers. I had mine this morning with a poached egg on it. Yum! Reheats well. Next time, I would add a little dijon to the cream, for depth of flavor. Don't skip the lemon juice at the end.
This was a very disappointing recipe. It was dry, strange in texture and the overall taste just not very good. We ate our portions then the rest went to the garbage. Sorry but not good at all.
I love seafood, love cheese, love vegetables. Followed the recipe exactly, and this was one of the grossest recipes I've tried - straight in the trash, which has only happened one other time in my cooking career. I'm honestly confused about the testing and development process for this.
Subbed cauliflower florets because I had it on hand. (Wouldn’t bother with zucchini, ever.) Perfect taste, texture, etc., but not enough to serve four adults. Two, here, had a bit left over. Served with a salad, pan-seared scallops, and crusty bread. When there were four minutes left, I ran a store-bought French loaf under a sprinkle of water and tossed it onto the oven rack. Unnecessary for this gratin, but exactly right for the scallops. Fine, homey seafood dinner per Kansas City standards
Made this with frozen shrimp with no negative effects. My husband loved this dish and had the leftover for lunch, continuing to say how much he liked it. For me, not so much. I wouldn’t make it again for myself, but will for him!
The flavors are lovely together. If I make it again, I’ll use more cheese and cut the panko by half.
It was a bit watery but tasted good.
Followed the recommendation to sauté the veggies before adding them to everything else, and it all came out crispy and delicious!
Made this last night to great reviews. I sauteed the squash/shiitakes with some garlic until soften. Subbed some thinly sliced yellow onion as I was out of shallots. Added some lemon zest/juice to the initial shrimp/veggie mix. While I agree with others that this wouldn't be enough to serve four, it's now in our (2-person household) rotation.
This is definitely a keeper, especially because very "sub-able"! Had no zucchini or squash (I'm in Hong Kong; some things are different ) but used the long thin Asian eggplant and some lovely little, locally grown King Oyster mushrooms. Expecting a nice box of "Leftovers for Tomorrow", it instead ran out of the pan and hubby and I polished it off. Into my "The A List" folder so schnell wie möglich.
