Cazuela de Camarones con Champiñones (Shrimp and Mushroom Casserole)
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove chopped
- 4 oz portobello mushrooms diced
- 11/2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons white wine optional
- Salt and pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon mustard
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese divided
- 2 pounds shrimp peeled, deveined and cut crosswise into thirds
- ⅓ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 7 minutes.

- Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until sauce is thick and smooth and any floury taste is gone, about 5 minutes. Add the wine, heavy cream, mustard, cumin and paprika. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes more. Turn off the heat, add the shrimp and1 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Gently stir until cheese is melted and shrimp is beginning to turn pink. Season with salt and white pepper, to taste.
- Place the mixture into 4 individual gratin dishes. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese and bread crumbs on top. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the caseroles are browned on the top. Serve warm.

I've been thinking about making this Shrimp and Mushroom Casserole for days. My sister mentioned it to me while she was visiting a couple of months ago. She had it while she was living in Cartagena and said it was delicious.
I hadn't made it before, but the list of ingredients made my mouth water... shrimp, mushrooms, white sauce, cheese and white wine. This casserole is rich, creamy and delicious. The top is crunchy and when baked, it turns a gorgeous shade of golden brown. Serve warm with a piece of crusty bread on the side.
I suggest that you bookmark this recipe right now 😉
Buen provecho!

I made this as directed, in 5 individual ramekins. It was delicious but very rich. This would be good as a side dish or an accent for a steak.
