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, Washington

Sounds good but cooking shrimp for 20 minutes sounds like a long time I dont cook fish that long is the shrimp still frozen?

We have been making this one for years (since it was first published) and it's an easy favorite. We don't care for (and can rarely find) cream of shrimp soup so usually either make my own white sauce or substitute cream of celery soup. Have also made it with an asparagus stir fry veggie mix.
