So rich and delicious! I even used half-and-half for the whipping cream and still had a nice, rich casserole. I realized that I was out of mushrooms, so I sauteed some chopped onion and used that instead. This ia a wonderful combination and I look forward to making this again with the mushrooms And I'll use the onions again, too). Thanx for sharing this. -
This was an interesting recipe! Its a very rich recipe with the sauce. I think next time I may omit the sherry but other then that I liked this. My daughter and I love artichokes and mushrooms and the addition of shrimp is quite good. Thanks for posting Karen

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me.
If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer.
I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story.
