Cheesy Oven-Baked Shrimp and Vegetable Medley

Ingredients

- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup of canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup of whole cow's milk
- 1/4 cup of cashews, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Dish
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

3. Thaw and Prep Shrimp
If the shrimp are frozen, thaw them under cold running water. Dry thoroughly with paper towels.

4. Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, frozen vegetables, black beans, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to ensure everything is coated evenly.

5. Assemble the Dish
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Pour the milk over the top, making sure to distribute it evenly across the dish.

6. Add Cheese and Cashews
Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the dish followed by the chopped cashews for added texture and flavor.

7. Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until the shrimp are fully cooked, and the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.

8. Rest & Serve
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to portion out.
