Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter the baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter, add chopped onion, sauté until translucent, then stir in garlic, basil, and nutmeg, cooking until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy whipping cream, simmer for 3-4 minutes, then stir in half the parmesan and all the Monterey Jack cheese until melted.
  5. Distribute the seared shrimp in a baking dish and pour cream sauce over them.
  6. Combine remaining parmesan with crushed pork rind crumbs and sprinkle over the shrimp.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
