Tips to Enhance the Flavor:

• Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for fresh shrimp, Parmesan cheese, and herbs for optimal flavor.
• Sauté the shrimp: Season and sauté the shrimp in a skillet with butter or olive oil to add depth of flavor.
• Add garlic: Sauté minced garlic with the shrimp or in the tomato mixture for extra savory notes.
• Use a creamy sauce: Replace the cream of mushroom soup with a creamy Alfredo sauce for a richer flavor profile.
• Add vegetables: Add chopped spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to the tomato mixture for additional nutrients and texture.
• Experiment with different cheeses: Try a blend of Parmesan, mozzarella, and fontina cheeses for a more complex flavor.
• Top with toasted breadcrumbs: Combine panko breadcrumbs with butter and Parmesan cheese, and sprinkle over the baked manicotti for a crispy topping.
• Serve with a dipping sauce: Offer a creamy marinara sauce or garlic Alfredo sauce for dipping.
