Ingredients

  • 2 16 oz Boxes of Mrs. T's Pierogies (Potato & Cheese)
  • 2 lbs Large Shrimp, Peeled, Deveined and Tails Removed
  • 2 Tbl Olive Oil
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1.5 Cups Fat Free Half and Half
  • 1/2 Cup Fat Free Chicken Broth or Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt and Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Tbl Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tbl Fresh Chopped Parsley
  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella (Optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Arrange frozen pierogies evenly in the prepared baking dish. No need to boil first. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir in half-and-half, broth, parmesan, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
  • Scatter raw shrimp evenly over the pierogies. Pour the garlic cream sauce evenly over everything. If using mozzarella, sprinkle lightly over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through and the sauce is bubbling around the edges. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
