I've made this casserole several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The creamy sauce and tender shrimp are a winning combination.

The casserole was easy to make, but the shrimp were a bit overcooked.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out perfectly. The shrimp were cooked through and the peas were still slightly crunchy. The sauce was flavorful and creamy.
