Note

Ensure shrimp are fully cooked before assembling the gratin to avoid overcooking in the oven.

If using raw shrimp, cook them separately until pink and opaque, then drain well before layering.

For a richer flavor, substitute the white sauce with a béchamel or cream-based sauce.

Serve immediately while the breadcrumb topping is still crisp.
