Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Reduce heat to medium, whisk in flour, and stir until a thick paste forms, approximately 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer. Cook and stir until sauce thickens and becomes smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes. Season with nutmeg and salt.
Place shrimp in a casserole dish and coat with 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning. Season with salt. Cover with sauce and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Add shallot, remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and parsley on top. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, followed by Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crisp, approximately 25 minutes.
