Expert Tips

To thaw shrimp, place in a colander or strainer and rinse with cool water until it is thawed. Drain well.

Chopped garlic in the jar is a convenient alternative to fresh garlic. It's easy to use and keeps in the refrigerator for up to six months.

Prepare the casserole without the topping. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to bake. Uncover casserole and sprinkle with topping. Bake as directed in recipe.

Serve this elegant casserole with a Caesar salad and Italian rolls with butter and preserves.

Really GOOD! My husband and I loved this and though it was not as easy to make! I took advice from others and added crab meat to it, so glad I did!!!!

My family LOVED this! It is so good!! I couldnt believe that I made it! I couldnt find the parm bread crumbs so I just used regular bread crumbs and added a little bit of parm cheese to it. I will be making this again for sure!!!

This recipe was awesome! We tweeked it some and it was delicious! We added lump crab meat to it and used garlic & onion powder instead of the real thing, plus we added some flavored laughing cow cheese... monzerella sun-dried tomato & garlic and herb. We had this with Pillsbury garlic breaksticks too :)
