🥣 Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.

- Season with salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg
4. Make the creamy base
- Add cream to the spinach-onion mixture
- Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened
- Stir in half of the grated cheese
5. Combine and transfer
- Mix shrimp back into the spinach-cream mixture
- Pour into a greased baking dish
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top
6. Bake
- Bake 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbly
7. Serve

✨ Tips
- Extra flavor: add a splash of white wine to the cream before baking
- Low-carb version: skip breadcrumbs; cheese topping adds crunch
- Make ahead: Assemble, refrigerate, and bake just before serving
If you want, I can also give a fancier version with a crispy parmesan topping and garlic butter breadcrumbs, perfect for impressing guests.
