This was great, but I did alter a bit. As suggested in other reviews, I did substitute the milk and used half and half. I added 2 cups of hash browns, used jalapeno pepper instead, added more salt and added fresh ground black peppercorns, now what really gave it the southwestern taste is I added 2-T of drained Ro-Tel original diced tomatoes & green chilies. Now this was good. Definitely DO NOT COOK THE ALREADY COOKED SHRIMP. JUST LET IT THAW AS SUGGESTED. I did double up on the shrimp. I can hardly wait to serve this to my son and his wife.
