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!! :)

This recipe is so delicious !... whether you make it as written or if you have to substitute the type of rice, soup & cheeses to what you have on hand. This time, I used brown rice cooked in half water & half chicken broth, then added sautéed sliced mushrooms, fresh chopped parsley and salt & pepper to it. I couldn’t find Cream of Shrimp Soup so I used 1 can each of Cream of Chicken & Cream of Celery and added some Old Bay Seasoning for the seafood flavor. Also couldn’t find any Cheddar-Colby cheese, so used a Mexican Cheese Blend and it turned out fantastic! I highly recommend this recipe and can’t wait to make it for our next dinner guests!

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.

Perfect recipe as stated. I did, however, add chopped parsley for color and taste to the rice after it was cooked and prior to adding the shrimp mixture. Hubby raved about the casserole and said it was way better than the $225 dinner for two we had at a restaurant last weekend. Next fancy occassion, I'll make this and save $210!

This was wonderful. Next time I might use less rice. Other than that a keeper!
