Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large bowl, season shrimp with salt, paprika, and parsley flakes.

In a large skillet, add olive oil and cook shrimp for about 3 minutes on both sides. Once done, chop shrimp into small pieces and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and celery to the skillet and sauté until it softens, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the green onions, garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Cook for 1 minute more.

Stir in the shrimp, cream cheese, and Parmesan. Adjust the heat to low and stir until the cream cheese is melted and everything is evenly mixed.

Spoon the mixture into a baking dish. You can add more Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is browned and bubbling. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices or pita chips.
