CAJUN SHRIMP CASSEROLE
This is a recipe I was given when I first got married 25 years ago, and it has remained a favorite. Maybe because it's simple to make (don't let the long list of ingredients fool you). It also freezes well if made with fresh (not frozen or previously frozen) shrimp. It's great served with rice, salad, and some nice hot biscuits.
