Mediterranean Shrimp Bake Recipe #SundaySupper

Jump to recipe

When feeding a crowd, setting up a buffet is a smart way to go! Setting up a buffet table not only allows for easy serving, but it also lends itself to prepping everything ahead of time (my favorite entertaining tip) and lets you offer a wide variety of menu items. This way everyone is sure to find something yummy. What more does one want when serving a crowd?

With the holidays coming up my friends at Sunday Supper decided to share some of their favorite buffet menu ideas. Whether you are planning a gathering for a few or for many, you are sure to find some wonderful choices below. From appetizers, entrees, and desserts  – we have got you covered!

This Mediterranean Shrimp Bake recipe is a recipe that my mom had in her collection of tried and true favorites. My family and I enjoyed this scrumptious dish when we were all together recently. We made up an double batch because we were feeding a large hungry crowd and everyone loved it! Even the much younger set, that we thought might not be so keen on shrimp. Boy, were we surprised! The dish was gobbled up quickly!

This dish comes together really quickly. The only time consuming part is peeling and deveining the shrimp. If you buy the shrimp ready to go, you can put this recipe together lickity-split.

We served the Mediterranean Shrimp Bake with a wild rice and quinoa mix, steamed asparagus, and a salad. All items perfect for your buffet table. Speaking of setting up a buffet table, have you seen my short video on how to best set up the buffet?

Now for the recipe…
