We had this for dinner tonight and DH husband really liked it, more than I did. Next time I will try using cream of shrimp soup instead of cream of mushroom. Thanks for posting, it made us a nice dinner. -
I was really looking forward to this one, and it just really failed to light my fire :-( The recipe reads like something I'd ordinarily like very much, but this didn't do it for me tonight. Sorry! I pretty much followed this word-for-word, too! Seems "wrong" somehow to put shrimp in with cheese & cream of shroom soup. Didn't seem odd when I was looking at the recipe, but on the plate...ugh. And I really WANTED to like this. For all that I WOULD still classify this as "comfort food" as it has a home-y quality that feels like "home." *Made for ZWT 3 Spanish Region*
