Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it with olive oil or butter.
  2. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink.
  3. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic, fresh basil, and nutmeg, stirring for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Gradually add half the Parmesan and all the Monterey Jack cheese, mixing until smooth.
  5. Spread the seared shrimp in the baking dish, pour over the cream sauce, and top with remaining Parmesan and crushed pork rind crumbs.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Let rest briefly before serving.
