Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To thaw shrimp, place in a colander or strainer and rinse with cool water until it is thawed. Drain well.
  • tip 2
    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.
  • tip 3
    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.
  • tip 4
    Serve this elegant casserole with a Caesar salad and Italian rolls with butter and preserves.
