🥛Milk🦐Shellfish🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a shellfish-free version, replace the shrimp with mushrooms, chickpeas, or extra peppers for a hearty vegetarian bake. For dairy-free needs, use plant-based mozzarella and cream cheese, and choose a dairy-free topping; for gluten-free, swap in GF pasta and breadcrumbs.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple green salad or garlicky broccoli to balance the rich, cheesy pasta. Warm bread or a crusty loaf also works well for soaking up any extra sauce.
