Little Shrimp Casseroles

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
• ¼ cup minced scallions
• ½ cup coarsely chopped white button mushroom (about 2 mushrooms)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled (about 24)
• 1 cup fresh bread crumbs (from about ¾ slice of bread processed in a food processor)
• ¼ cup dry white wine

Instructions

1. 1
   Mix the butter in a large glass bowl with the garlic, scallions, mushrooms, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the oil.
2. 2
   Add the shrimp, and toss to mix well.
3. 3
   Divide the mixture among four individual gratin dishes, or spoon it into one large gratin dish or a shallow baking dish.
4. 4
   In another bowl, toss the bread crumbs with the remaining tablespoon of oil, so they are lightly coated but still fluffy.
5. 5
   Sprinkle the shrimp mixture with the crumbs, and pour the wine on top.
6. 6
   About 30 minutes before serving time, heat the oven to 425 degrees.
7. 7
   When the oven is ready, place the gratin dishes or dish on a cookie sheet, and bake for 10 minutes, or until the topping is nicely browned and the shrimp are just cooked through.
8. 8
   Serve immediately.
