1

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures your bake cooks evenly.

2

While the oven is heating, rinse and chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes until just tender, then set aside.

3

In a large pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 3-5 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-blended.

6

In a large baking dish, combine the steamed broccoli, cooked shrimp, and the cream cheese mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

7

Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture, followed by the bread crumbs for a nice crunch.

8

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

9

Once done, carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
