Garlic Butter Shrimp Stuffed Peppers are a flavorful, easy seafood dish where tender bell peppers are filled with juicy shrimp sautéed in garlic butter, crispy breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Baked until golden and bubbling, this dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or elegant entertaining with a low-carb twist.

Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Set aside.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook for 3–4 minutes until pink. Remove from heat and chop shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stuff each bell pepper with the shrimp mixture, pressing it down gently to pack. Place stuffed peppers in a baking dish.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tops are golden and the peppers are tender.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Spicy Option: Add crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne to the filling for extra heat.
  • Cheese Variations: Try mozzarella or Gruyère instead of Parmesan.
  • Low-Carb Version: Omit breadcrumbs and use chopped spinach or cauliflower rice.
  • Grilled Peppers: Grill peppers before stuffing for a smoky flavor.
  • Seafood Medley: Mix in chopped crab or scallops with the shrimp.
