Shrimp Gratin

Looking forcomfort food and don’t feel like spending hours in the kitchen? Then this shrimp gratin is for you! A warm comforting and a full of flavor shrimp gratin, shrimp with a creamy white sauce that is seasoned with brine capers and Dijon mustard and covered with Swiss cheese. The result is a fabulous dish that sings with flavor! The sauce is so good that you will want to lick your plate clean. This makes a great cosy weekend side dish or an elegant addition to your holiday table. If you are making this for holiday, you might need to double or even triple the recipe.

I like to leave the heads of the shrimp intact simply because there is a plenty of rich flavor inside these crustacean heads. Serve this elegant dish with plain rice or sautéed potatoes. You can order your shrimp cleansed, with their heads left intact, through your local fish market or supermarket.
