Shrimp Casserole -- Southern Living
"This is from Southern Living. So good. I posted as written. However, if you can actually find "cream of shrimp soup" send me some as I have never seen it. NOTE: I sub 1 can cheese soup & 1 can cream of celery for the two cans of cream of shrimp and add some extra shrimp and I think it is good! Prep time includes time to cook rice and shrimp in skillet. :) Also, I will separate this into TWO casserole dishes, then cook one all the way (follow recipe through to the end) and the other I freeze right before sprinkling with cheese. I am jsut careful to eat it within about one month since there is seafood in the casserole. Also, sometimes I make half chicken/half shrimp or one of each. When I add chicken instead of the cream of celery soup I use cream of chicken. I always use the cheese soup. Really the possibilities are endless :) Also, add some cayenne pepper if you like it spicy! We ALWAYS add cayenne!"

Made this tonight. It was wonderful!! I added sliced fresh mushrooms and used the precooked rice in the pouch to save some time. Also used a red bell pepper because that was all I had. Really wonderful flavor, panko crumbs gave great texture. A keeper!

This deserves more than 5 stars. Made as stated but as I sampled before putting in oven I felt it just needed a little something so I added ground red pepper and some white cooking wine. I also used Panko crumbs. Even though this was good exactly as written the wine and red pepper took it one step further. Yum, delicious! Thanks for posting. I had no trouble finding the cream of shrimp soup in our small little town at any of our 3 grocery store but it was pricy. Well worth the price though. It is made by Campbell's. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup. -
This is wonderful as is, however next time - and there will be many next times i will add some sliced (fresh) mushrooms and even more cayenne pepper. for the topping i used a mix of grated sharp and parmesan cheese and panko. yum! -
Was a big hit! I used the Campbell's cream of shrimp soup. Made 2 casseroles. One was made with panko and the other with breadcrumbs. I also made one spicier than the other. -
I made this dish for a church pot luck and everyone praised me for it. I didn't have any trouble finding the soup at Publix either. Partially out of time and partially out of laziness, I took some meat scissors and just dug into the veggies to chop them up & then the shrimp to make them more bite sized. No one could tell & it cut back about 20 minutes of prep work.

FYI, Campbells makes Cream of Shrimp soup though it is hard to find. My local IGA has it but not the big chain store. Walmart may have it but I don't know as I don't shop there. You can find it on Amazon but you have to buy at least 12 cans at a time.
