  1. Used a box of Red Lobster Biscuit mix. Used 9X13 pan and spread as a crust. Baked halfway and brushed with butter herb mix. Then topped with the au gratin and baked as instructed. OMG. Amazing.
     
  2. Ya know, when a chef lives in south Louisiana a chef's got to do what a chef's got to do. I added green bell pepper, celery and green onions. I couldn't disguise them in my photo so I have to own up to it. This is absolutely a delightful and company-worthy dish.
     
  3. Excellent flavor. True confession: I served it over angel hair pasta. It was great!!!
     
  4. This was a huge hitii I added some bay scallops and lobster to it and cut down on the shrimp...fabulous, then I scooped it into puff pastry shells and served it as our first course...wonderful...
     
  5. Just the recipe I was looking for! Our favorite restaurant in Highlands, NC serves this dish. With the addition of mushrooms, a little vidalia onion, and a dash or two of worchestshire, it turned out so perfect my hubby raved and gave this one 10 stars. QUICK, EASY, DELICIOUS
