A friend made this and it was great. Even my husband who is not a big fan of casseroles thought it was great. I'm making this one soon.

I want to say ...wow!! so awesome...added in a few of yalls suggestions, like rotel tomatoes...and instead of rice I used lasagne noodles...and tossed in some corn scraped right off the cobb...i then layered the noodles, cheese, shrimp, chopped mushrooms, rotel tomatoes, then soup mixture...and repeated all the way to the top....it actually stacked about an inch higher than the top of my 13x9...really you are just waiting for the cheese layers to melt--about 30 minutes!! My brother cussed it was so good!! and I used "tiny salad shrimp" to make it more affordable!!! no regrets...a new favorite!! good Lord bless ea of you!! :)

Great casserole! Here in Baton Rouge we are particular that our food is flavorful, and this is (of course we still sprinkle on a little Creole seasoning to make it perfect)! I used instant brown rice (faster & healthier), and olive oil instead of butter to saute the veggies. I also combined the cheese into the mixture to get some on every bite, instead of just the top (but used less than 1 cup). Not sure why so many recipes want you to use an entire onion, not necessary most of the time. But we were very pleased and will make again!

1 cup = 8 oz., not 4. How is one supposed to know whether to use 1 cup of cheese or 1/2 a cup of cheese?

I have made this dish on four occasions, and without fail everyone loves it and someone asks me for the recipe. I use wild shrimp (from southeastern NC waters) and not that factory- farmed stuff from Lord-knows-where. This dish really showcases the shrimp nicely. If you cannot find the refridgerated Alfredo sauce, the sauce in a jar will suffice, although I think the refridgerated sauce is somewhat better. I may add mushrooms next time I make it...nothing like gilding the proverbial lily. Try this dish you won't be disappointed.
