Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add fresh spinach along with a splash of water. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, then fold in sautéed spinach and shrimp.
  4. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese into the bottom of the baking dish. Spoon the shrimp and spinach mixture on top, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the shrimp is opaque and tender.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top during the last 5 minutes of baking. Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley before serving.
