Garlic Shrimp Cream Cheese Manicotti Rolls combine the comfort of pasta with a burst of sophisticated flavor.

Ingredients

  • Manicotti shells
  • Medium to large raw shrimp (21/25 count or 16/20 count), peeled and deveined
  • Unsalted butter
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh garlic
  • Shallot or small onion
  • Full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • Part-skim ricotta cheese
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Dried oregano
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Marinara sauce
  • Chicken or vegetable broth (optional)
  • Non-alcoholic white wine alternative (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Manicotti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the manicotti shells and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water. Lay them out to dry.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp, chop, and deglaze the pan with broth or wine. Add to marinara sauce.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, ricotta, and Parmesan. Add chopped shrimp, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Assemble the Manicotti Rolls: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread marinara sauce in a baking dish. Fill manicotti shells with the cream cheese mixture. Arrange in the baking dish, seam-side down.
  5. Layer and Bake: Pour remaining marinara sauce over the top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden. Let rest before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for best flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste.
  • Substitute with a different cheese if desired.
