Cheesy Shrimp Bake

1. Bake: Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, which signals they are cooked perfectly. The mozzarella will melt, bubble, and take on a lightly golden color around the edges. Avoid overbaking; shrimp can become rubbery if left in too long.
2. Finish: Remove the dish from the oven and let it stand briefly so the sauce settles. Garnish with the chopped parsley for a fresh, bright contrast. If desired, add a gentle squeeze of lemon juice just before serving to cut through the richness.

Notes

• Pair with toasted bread, pasta, or rice to soak up the extra creamy sauce.
• For added heat, increase the chili flakes or sprinkle a little on top before baking.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven to preserve texture.
