Shrimp Scampi Stuffed Shells (A Creamy, Cheesy Showstopper!)

A beautiful plate of a homemade, elegant, and creamy Shrimp Scampi Stuffed Shells, being served with a simple green salad at a holiday dinner.

A rich and decadent recipe for Shrimp Scampi Stuffed Shells. This dish features jumbo pasta shells filled with a creamy and savory mixture of chopped shrimp, cream cheese, ricotta, and Parmesan, all seasoned scampi-style with garlic, white wine, and lemon juice. The stuffed shells are then baked in a homemade, velvety garlic cream sauce until hot and bubbly. The recipe is designed to make two full casseroles, one to bake immediately and one to freeze for a future meal.

Ingredients

  • For the Pasta and Filling:
  • Kosher salt
  • 40 jumbo pasta shells
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 pounds shrimp (21/25 count), peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • A splash of white wine
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 cups whole-milk ricotta
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups grated fresh mozzarella, divided
  • For the Sauce:
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta and Filling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta shells until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat the oil and 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes, 6 cloves of minced garlic, and the onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
  3. Add the chopped shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Simmer for about 1 minute until the shrimp is cooked through. Set the shrimp mixture aside on a plate to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper until well combined. Fold in the cooled shrimp mixture.
  5. Make the Sauce: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using the same skillet over medium heat, melt the 1 stick of butter. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, whisking, for 3-4 minutes to create a golden roux.
  6. Pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly. Cook until the sauce has thickened. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and the fresh parsley. Set aside.
  7. Assemble and Bake (Casserole 1): Add 1 cup of the sauce to the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  8. Generously fill 20 of the jumbo shells with the shrimp and cream cheese mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells face down in the baking dish.
  9. Top with an additional 2 cups of sauce and sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella.
  10. Bake, uncovered, for about 25 minutes, until bubbly and hot.
  11. Assemble and Freeze (Casserole 2): Assemble a second 9×13-inch baking dish with the remaining ingredients in the same manner. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil and freeze for a future meal. To bake from frozen, preheat the oven to 375°F and bake, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes.

Notes

  • This recipe is perfect for meal prepping or ‘cook once, eat twice’ planning, as it yields two full 9×13-inch casseroles.
  • Placing the stuffed shells face-down in the sauce is a unique technique that helps keep the filling moist.
  • The entire sauce is made in the same skillet used to cook the shrimp, which incorporates all the flavorful browned bits from the pan.
