Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place the eggplant in a colander over the sink and salt well; toss and let drain for half an hour to extract the bitterness.
• While the eggplant is draining, prepare the custard; Whisk to combine the milk, egg whites, egg yolk, nutmeg, 1/4 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper; stir in half the grated cheeses and set aside.
• Prepare the crumb topping; Place the rice cakes, the remaining cheese, Old Bay seasoning, salt and pepper to taste in the bowl of your food processor, fitted with the steel blade; pulse several times until the mixture is crumbly and combined; set aside.
• Heat a 10" cast iron skillet or other oven-proof baking dish over medium heat on your stovetop.
• Add the grape seed or olive oil to pre-heated skillet; Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the onions, garlic, and red peppers and saute until the onion is softened (a few minutes).

• Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed.
• Add the shrimp and parsley, stir to combine, and saute for 1 minute; definitely don't overdo it here; shrimp are icky when overcooked.
• Pour the custard mixture over the top so it permeates the entire skillet.
• Spread the crumb topping evenly over the top and press gently to set the crumbs.
• Lightly spray the top of the dish with cooking spray and bake for about 30 minutes in the oven, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden on top; Run it under the broiler for a minute or so if need be to get the desired effect on top.
• Let it sit on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes prior to serving.
• Chef notes: Bread crumbs (or pork rinds for you low-carbers) can be substituted for the rice cakes, although the rice cakes gave a nice light crunch to this dish that I really enjoyed; If you like a more prevalent custard base (the amount here is underwhelming), double the custard ingredients, maybe add 1 T flour, and increase the cooking time accordingly; Old Bay seasoning is a seasoning mix by McCormick; according to their web site,"Old Bay is a zesty blend of a dozen herbs and spices--including celery, bay leaves, ginger, and red pepper--that's perfect for seasoning summer foods, especially seafood"; if you can't get it where you are, look for a copycat recipe by typing"old bay seasoning substitute" at your favorite search engine.
