**Ingredients:**

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

* 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded

* 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

* 1 cup Alfredo sauce (jarred is perfectly fine!)

* 1/4 cup bread crumbs

* 2 tbsp butter, melted

* Salt and pepper to taste

**Instructions:**

**Prep the Shrimp:** Gently pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. This helps them brown nicely.

2. **Stuff the Shrimp:** In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and squeezed spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Fill each shrimp with about a teaspoon of the cheese and spinach mixture.

3. **Assemble the Bake:** Pour half of the Alfredo sauce into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shrimp in the dish. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the shrimp.

4. **Top it Off:** Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs evenly over the top. Drizzle with melted butter.

5. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. **Serve & Enjoy:** Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This dish is wonderful on its own or with a side of steamed green beans or a simple salad.
