Creamy Shrimp Casserole image

My grandmother's special recipe and a family favorite in our house. Shrimp, egg noodles, peas and a few mushrooms layered in creamy sauce. Although this recipe yields quite a bit, my family of 4 usually devours the whole dish in one sitting.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups wide egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups milk
½ cup heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
1 tablespoon cold butter, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole dish.
  • Fill a large pot with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the shrimp, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the shrimp until opaque and bright pink, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Return the water to a full rolling boil over high heat, and stir in the noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 8 minutes; drain in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir the flour into the butter to make a paste. Remove the pan from the heat; slowly whisk in the milk and cream until smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Return the sauce to the heat, lower heat to a simmer, and whisk constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Place noodles into the prepared casserole dish, and top with peas, mushrooms, and cooked shrimp. Pour the sauce over the casserole, and sprinkle the crushed cracker crumbs evenly over the top. Dot the top of the casserole with about 6 thin slices of butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cracker topping is crisp and golden brown, about 1 hour.

CREAMY SEAFOOD CASSEROLE



Creamy Seafood Casserole image

I love this recipe from my mother. It's easy and delicious. Even better: You can make it the night before. If you're out of buttery crackers, try topping it with french-fried onions or crushed potato chips-they'll give it a different kind of crunch. -Mary Brown, Whitman, Massachusetts

ROASTED SHRIMP WITH BREAD CRUMBS



Roasted Shrimp With Bread Crumbs image

Mark Bittman brought this recipe to The Times as part of a 2013 shrimp roundup. This especially easy dish cooks them quickly, under high heat and a showering of lemon, olive oil and bread crumbs for brightness paired with comfort. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp. As Mr. Bittman notes, "For the most part, the shrimp will tell you when they're done." Simply make sure they're pink, and pair alongside a salad or over rice.
