Creamy Shrimp Casserole image

My mom made this and I thought that she was nuts to mix shrimp & cream cheese. Boy was I wrong! My husband told me that this was one of the best things that I've ever made. For a twist on this recipe, you can add 1 lb crabmeat.

I followed the recipe exactly and my casserole turned out runny. Not sure what went wrong.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.
