Makeover Shrimp Rice Casserole image

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out terrible. The shrimp were overcooked and the rice was mushy. I won't be making this again.

This casserole has potential, but it needs some tweaking. I would try using a different type of cheese or adding some vegetables.

The casserole was too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.
