  8. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  9. Let rest uncovered for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp — it will continue cooking in the oven.
Make ahead: assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
Add spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
Use freshly grated cheeses for best melting and flavor.
Add a splash of white wine to seafood while cooking for more depth.
