Cheesy Shrimp Pasta Casserole Recipe 

This garlic shrimp casserole is a super easy recipe full of cheesy shrimp and penne pasta cooked in fresh garlic, butter, cheese, and a dash of lemon juice.

It takes less than 30 minutes to make, and it’s all made in the same skillet, so it’s perfect for busy weeknights. It has become one of my favorite dinners – and the leftovers are great for lunch the next day too!

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.

Shrimp Pasta Casserole Baking Tips

  • Pasta: Although I think penne works great for this casserole, you could also use rotini or spaghetti.
  • Brown the top: If you want a crispy golden brown top, broil it for two to three minutes.
  • Make ahead: You can make this dish a few hours before your dinner, or make it the evening before, seal it tightly to keep it fresh, keep it in the fridge and bake it in the oven once more before serving.
  • Leftovers: I often eat this leftovers for lunch for the next 2 days! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, and then reheat in the microwave.
