  1. I found this at myrecipes.com, and I used half and half instead of reduced-fat milk. The hashbrowns are the key to this recipe. I absolutely loved this and was disappointed when it was gone. Thanks for posting this great recipe!
     
  2. I found this recipe several years ago and have been making it ever since. I always double the recipe so we can have leftovers! IMHO it's the flavor from the serrano chili that really sends this recipe over the top.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. Followed this step for step, though I substituted a jalapeno pepper for the serrano pepper. I'd recommend cutting back on the fresh cilantro, as it can overpower the aroma and flavor. But this dish is awesome (hopefully my pic will be published for it).

  1. Sometimes I don't add the shrimp add and it's still delish. I never add the cilantro.
