Delicious garlic shrimp pasta casserole made in less than 30 minutes! This easy baked shrimp pasta is a creamy, cheesy, one-pot skillet meal that the whole family will love. Packed with tender shrimp, penne pasta, and a flavorful garlic cream sauce, it’s a comfort meal that comes together fast.

Cheesy Shrimp Pasta Casserole Recipe 

This garlic shrimp casserole is a super easy recipe packed with cheesy shrimp and penne pasta, cooked in fresh garlic, butter, shredded cheese, and a splash of lemon juice. If you’re a shrimp lover like me, you’re always looking for new, no-fuss ways to enjoy it—and this shrimp pasta bake is a must-try! One of my other favorites is Shrimp Spring Roll In A Bowl, which has all the fresh flavor of spring rolls without the wrapping.

This casserole takes less than 30 minutes to make and comes together in one skillet, making it the perfect weeknight dinner. I’m always reaching for quick shrimp recipes like this when I need something satisfying in a hurry. If you’re looking for more easy shrimp dinners, don’t miss my Crispy Oven Baked Shrimp or my Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas, which are loaded with veggies and full of flavor!

Best Pasta for Shrimp Pasta Casserole

I like using penne for this shrimp pasta casserole because the tube shape holds onto the creamy sauce perfectly. However, you can easily swap in rotini, fusilli, or even elbow macaroni—anything with curves or ridges that can grab the sauce works well. Want to use spaghetti or linguine? Go for it—just break the noodles in half before cooking so they mix into the casserole evenly.

How to Make Shrimp Pasta

Cook the pasta, drain, and set aside.

In a large oven-safe skillet, brown the garlic in butter and olive oil. Add the shrimp and parsley, cooking until shrimp is bright pink, and then remove.

Using the same skillet, add more butter and whisk in the flour. Add chicken broth, milk, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Add parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese and mix until melted into a cheesy cream sauce.

Add 3/4 of the shrimp mixture and cooked pasta into the cheese sauce and mix thoroughly

Place the remaining shrimp on top and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella.

 Bake until the cheese melts and lightly browns.  Then remove from the oven, serve, and enjoy!

Storing Leftovers:

Leftover shrimp pasta casserole makes a great next-day lunch! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave until warmed through—add a splash of water or broth if needed to keep it creamy.
