How to Make Shrimp Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and mushrooms release their moisture.
  3. Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until just opaque. Do not overcook.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp mixture to a lightly greased 8-inch quiche dish or similar oven-safe dish.
  5. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine to the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Pour the wine sauce over the shrimp in the quiche dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/2 avocado (sliced), 2 tablespoons salsa, and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
