1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (10 3/4-ounce can) condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar

Question about cooking shrimp
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am getting ready to make this and have a question. Do you boil the water with the shrimp in it or add the shrimp to the... boiling water????Read more

It was ok
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I was a bit surprised this one got such rave reviews. I found the combination of cream-of-mushroom, green pepper, shrimp and... cheese to be weird, even though I love each of those items separately. I added mushrooms, and that was the best part, even though they aren't my fav! I think I might make a wild rice, cream of mushroom with added mushrooms side dish in the future- yum! I thought I did a really good job cooking this one. Thanks for all the helpful hints! (Cool the shrimp, use uncle ben's rice, etc)Read more

Give it a crusty topping!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this so many times for dinner, my husband always love this casserole and never get tired of it. I mix equal... amount of parmesan and bread crumbs then spread a generous layer on top of the casserole ( learned that from Giada) before baking. Eat the topping with the casserole and you'll dig in it again and again.Read more

twisted it up!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

followed advice of some other reviewers and used a box of NearEast long grain and wild rice, made according to directions;... used orange bell pepper and a mix of melting cheddar cheese as substitutions; cooked my shrimp in beer and old bay. First nite enjoyed with grilled porterhouse steak, 2nd nite (it tasted even better) with salad, candied carrots and crusty bread! Perfect, easy and yummy! Will make again and have shared this recipe with others!Read more
