5 pounds (about 8) medium mirlitons (chayotes)
1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
1 large jalapeno, seeded and minced (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup minced garlic

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the mirlitons and cook until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat, drain, and set aside to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, combine the shrimp with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon Bayou Blast in a mixing bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the mirlitons and cook, mashing them with a potato masher, until very tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Add the shrimp, salt, black pepper, green onions, and parsley. Cook, stirring, until the shrimp turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs. Bake until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp is tough and chewy. Cook shrimp for just 2-3 minutes per side, or until it turns pink and opaque.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices. Use a good-quality olive oil and butter.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make shrimp creole casserole. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or adjust the seasonings to your taste.

Conclusion:

Shrimp creole casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great dish for entertaining, as it can be made ahead of time. With its creamy sauce, tender shrimp, and flavorful vegetables, shrimp creole casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
