Shrimp and Asparagus Casserole image

This scrumptious seafood dish "travels well". At least, the recipe does= I make sure to pack it in my handbag whenever my husband and I are preparing to visit out-of-state relatives. Now that we're retired, we travel often. And it's our custom to take over in the kitchen wherever we visit and whip up one of our own family favorites-frequently this casserole. It never fails to win us compliments...along with invitations to visit again!

The casserole was easy to make, but it didn't turn out as flavorful as I had hoped. I think I would have liked it better with some additional herbs and spices.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter sauce.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the casserole and it gave it a nice tangy flavor. I also used a white wine instead of the chicken broth and it turned out great.
