Drain the pasta, rinse with cold water, and drain again. (The cold water cools down the pasta so the egg in the sauce doesn’t cook too early from contact with pasta that would be too hot.)
In a medium bowl, mix the beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, and ricotta cheese and set aside.
Spray two 18.6 ounce baking dishes with non-stick spray. Click for 18.6 ounce oven-safe baking dishes.
Whisk together the broth mixture, the cheese mixture, and the pasta.
Pour the pasta mixture into the two prepared dishes, divided evenly.
Layer the shrimp over the pasta mixture, divided evenly in the two dishes.
Sprinkle on the shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Bake 30 minutes.
Allow cooling 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot dishes on cork trivets to protect tables or surfaces.
