Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole image

This Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole is an easy side dish recipe that pairs beautifully with just about any family meal!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Side Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups grated zucchini ((I used about 3.5 medium zucchinis))
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup finely minced or grated onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 eggs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus an additional 2 tablespoons
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 1 ½-quart baking dish; set aside.
  • Place zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and allow to sit for about 10 minutes (this will help draw out some of the water from the zucchini). After 10 minutes, squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini. TIP: In order to make sure that you get most of the water out of the zucchini (and avoid a runny casserole), wrap the zucchini in a dish towel. Squeeze it and wring it out multiple times while it's in the towel -- you will be shocked by how much liquid comes out!
  • In a large bowl, combine zucchini, onion, garlic, eggs, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese. Gently press the mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, pour melted butter over breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Stir until completely combined.
  • After 20 minutes, remove zucchini from the oven. Sprinkle buttered breadcrumbs over the zucchini and return the dish to the oven. Continue baking for about 5-10 more minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery. Cook shrimp for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the casserole. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
  • Don't overmix the casserole. Overmixing the casserole will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. The casserole is done baking when it is bubbly around the edges and the top is golden brown.

Conclusion:

This cheesy shrimp and zucchini casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The casserole is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. It's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
