Step 4: Assemble the Casserole
In a greased baking dish, layer the cooked cauliflower first, then add the sautéed shrimp and onions on top. Pour the creamy cheese sauce evenly over the shrimp and cauliflower.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top to create a golden, bubbly crust during baking.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbly.
Tip: For an extra cheesy finish, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
Serve this casserole hot as a main dish alongside a light green salad for a complete, low-carb meal.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overcook shrimp before baking; they will become rubbery.
- Use fresh cauliflower instead of frozen for a better texture, or roast it for added depth of flavor.
- Experiment with cheese – mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack can add different flavor profiles.
- Make it ahead: You can assemble it in advance and bake just before serving.
