did a (new to us) shrimp pasta bake - now,,,, I'm leery of baked shrimp tennis balls - so approached with caution....

cook the pasta
pre-heat oven to 375'F
half-fry the shrimp - used butter - they finish in the bake . . . cut into fork size pieces
remove/reserve shrimp
deglaze the pan with 0.5 cup dry white wine + 3-4 cloves minced garlic
stir in ~0.5 cup lite cream, stir in
add & whisk in 1.5 tablespoon lemon juice (+ optional, zest of half lemon)
season with salt/pepper + red pepper flakes to taste
add pasta into sauce & stir through
reduce to thicken - but not too thick as pasta will soak up some in bake cycle.

assemble:
pasta in casserole dish
shrimp on top
top with 0.5 cup grated parm + 1 cup grated mozzarella
topped with parsley
bake ~30 minutes till bubbly

30 mins on top of frying sounds like a long time for shrimp.
How was it?

turned out splendid - the frying methinks is just intended to turn the shrimp pink . . . which is how I approached it.
perhaps 3 minutes total in a sizzling pan.... toss/flip/etc . . .

deglazing the pan is a bit overstated, because in a quick saute like that, not much fond develops.
