Reviews
I just noticed my review was not complete, but it was posted anyway. I like my veggies cooked, and prefer fresh mushrooms. I just sauteed the veggies and fresh shrimp together until the shrimp was no longer pink. Then added 8oz of Uncle Ben's microwavable brown rice, because that's what I had on hand. This is delicious. And, I know people get upset when reviewers don't make the recipe exactly as written, but that's what TOH asks in the Review box: "Provide a review on what you thought of the recipe and HOW YOU ADJUSTED IT." I love the suggestions from others about how to make a recipe better or easier.
What a fantastic recipe. My only complaint is that I didn't discover it years ago when I often had large dinner parties. I did use the combo soup of cream of mushroom and cream of chicken instead of the milk as suggested by another reviewer to avoid the possibility of a runny sauce as others had experienced. This is a keeper for sure!
Oh. My. Goodness. This is going on my list of really yummy dishes to make again. I didn't quite follow the recipe exactly because we aren't especially fond of green peppers so I left those out and we had some leftover clams so I threw those in. I also was concerned about the runniness other raters mentioned so I substituted sour cream instead of the milk, as others suggested. It was perfect. We will most definitely be having this again.
I've made this recipe many times. It's a family favorite.
This has become one of my signature dishes that EVERYONE has loved from the very 1st bite. I have had to make a few changes...after reading other reviews and tweaks. All I can say is this is THE BOMB.COM!!!
I made it for the first time exactly as the recipe says and its a true hit. The taste was fantastic. This recipe is so easy to make and quick to prepare. Next time I make it I will add some Old Bay seasoning to it. I will make this again on special occasions. It can be a pricey dish but it is so worth it to give yourself a treat every now and then.
I made the seafood casserole for the first time for guest and was really looking forward to the result. Followed the recipe. It smelled delicious while cooking. Unfortunately when I served it the sauce separated. Not sure why? It was very tasty and everyone thought it was delicious but as the cook I was disappointed in the result as it was quite watery. Any hints why it separated?
This recipe is excellent. My wife does not like celery so we left that out. We did add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I believe that even without the cayenne pepper, the recipe is a great one and a keeper.
I wish people would review recipes as written. You are not doing anyone a favor if you deviate from what is written. Stop trying to be a smarty pants. I would rather see reviews of the recipe as written, then come back with variations of what may make it better or did make it better. There I feel better!!
We've made this twice within a month it's so good. The second time was for dinner at my son's and he asked for the recipe. We follow the recipe except for putting in extra shrimp.
