Great eats.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The recipe was great. I did boil the shrimp for two minutes in Lousianna shrimp and crawfish boil. I also sprinkled a... tablespoon of Tony Chacher's in the mixture that gave the dish some zip after reading reviews that said it lacked flavor. It was fantastic.Read more

Probably Won't Make Again
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I had high hopes for this casserole, but it turned out to be nothing special. It wasn't bad, but next time I cook something... containing shrimp, I'll probably make something else. The subtle flavor of the shrimp was lost among the overpowering cheese and rice flavors. I'd say this casserole would taste pretty much the same whether you use shrimp or chicken. For those of us in non-coastal states, the chicken would certainly be the cheaper route. Read more

tasted great
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I will for sure be making this again. The first time I made it I didn't add the seasoning that came with the wild rice, and... it was good but I think it lacked that flavor. The next time I will add the seasoning ! My husband loved it as is though!Read more

I made this last night in the search for something new...it was pretty salty and just so-so. This definitely isn't a... favorite but has that heavy comfort food way about it...kind of seemed like a waste of shrimp? Definitely add some garlic when you cook down the onion and green pepper!!Read more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe! We all loved it! My sister happen to come by and dinner time and she loved it too! This is very... rich and I probably wouldn't serve it as a main course again...I think it would be good served with steak as a side dish.Read more
