Baked Shrimp and Asparagus

I invented this casserole when I needed to serve 30 co-workers for a holiday party. I knew it was a hit when people asked for the recipe. Now I make it frequently for guests because it tastes special, yet it's fast to fix.Jane Rhodes, Silverdale, Washington4-6 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 30 min.
