The best part of a gratin is the crispy crust, and, here in this shallow sheet-pan version, there’s more of it. Flaky panko bread crumbs — with a sprinkling of mozzarella and Gruyère — form a crisp, almost chiplike topping that tastes not unlike the edges of garlicky, cheesy Texas toast. In fact, the topping comes off in large, snackable pieces. As this bakes (for just 10 minutes!), the spice blend perfumes the kitchen, thanks to herbes de Provence. The shiitakes add earthy heft and incredible umami, but for a more delicately flavored gratin, you can leave them out. Serve this with a big green salad or eat it straight out of the pan.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp, zucchini, mushrooms, shallot, garlic, paprika, red-pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon herbes de Provence, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper and 1 tablespoon oil until well combined. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch sheet pan or shallow baking dish in a single layer.

  3. Step 3

    In the now-empty bowl, toss the panko with a pinch of salt, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and ¼ teaspoon herbes de Provence to combine. Evenly pour the cream over the shrimp mixture in the pan, covering all the nooks and crannies. Sprinkle the panko mixture over the shrimp, then top first with the mozzarella, followed by the Gruyère.

  4. Step 4

    Bake until the cream is bubbling and the panko and cheese are light golden brown all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with the fresh lemon wedges, which should be squeezed over the gratin just before serving.

Are the shrimp pre-cooked, or no?

Susan

Half a pound of shrimp along with the rest of the recipe will serve precisely one. ME. :)

Richard

1/2 lb. of shrimp to serve 4? 2 oz./person? Hardly seems like enough.

Nancy C

This is a flavorful and fairly easy dish to make. I did make a few minor adjustments in seasonings. But I expected a Gratin to be creamy, which this is not. Maybe more cream and more shrimp next time.

Erin

This was terrible! I gave it a whirl because it’s Mardi Gras and shrimp seemed right. The shiitakes were clammy, the shrimp, dairy and Herbes de Provence were weird and not delicious.

Betsy

Delicious. Made as written but I had a pound of shrimp so I used it all. I think it would feel skimpy otherwise. I think this would be delicious with some fish fillets (cod or snapper) or maybe scallops.

Carol

@Betsy I love the idea of fish fillet! Great idea!!!
