Shrimp and Crab Casserole

My wife and I love this recipe. I used 1(15oz) can of mayonnaise and 1 can of evaporated milk. I also added some fresh broccolis and some frozen peas.

Absolutely delicious!!! I didn’t make any changes to it. I think why people are giving subpar reviews is that it requires way more time in the oven. At 40 minutes, I got scared because you couldn’t smell it at all. I took it out at that time because it was bubbling along the sides, as the recipe states, but when I took it out, it was a mayonnaise and milk disaster. I put it back in for about 30 more minutes and it came out delicious!! No need to reduce milk and no need to reduce mayo. You can’t even taste the mayo if you cook it long enough. Next time, I will be adding broccoli, cheese, and water chestnuts and eliminating the slice almonds. This is definitely a keeper!!! Hint: If you can’t smell throughout your house, it’s not cooked enough:).

It was delicious! I added chopped up vegetables like carrots and celery and spinach to make it more colorful.

The recipe was awesome and very simple to make. I actually had all ingredients in my fridge. The only thing that I did differently was use less milk only 1 1/2 cups, I did not use the almonds, and I seasoned my raw shrimp before mixing. It turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again soon. I tried to post a picture of it but the image was too big.

I shock myself when it was finish. How good it was.

I liked this recipe, very tasty! 🙂 I did modify a little. I used 1 can of campbell’s cheddar cheese, reduced milk and mayo to one cup each and added one more cup of rice. Everyone thought it was great. 🙂

I didn’t have any shrimp. I used 2 lbs of crab meat. 2 c of sharp cheese. I also didn’t have hot sauce. I used 1/2 Tsp of ground red pepper. No onion-no problem. I had a can of cream of onion soup. Added 1 C of mayonnaise. Turned out delicious!

I listened to previous reviews and used half the milk and mayo suggested and 3 tsp hot sauce. My family loved it!

It’s in the oven now. The odds of fitting these ingredients into a 2 quart casserole dish are zero. I had to use a 3 quart casserole dish and it went into the oven full.

I made this as written, and I did really enjoy it. I used imitation crab, as I didn’t want to have to shell that much meat, and I didn’t have access to a fish market that would shell it for me. It was easy to throw together and came out beautifully. I may have left it in the oven for an extra 10 minutes or so, but I like things like this well browned and a little on the dryer side. I will definitely make this again, but I’ll only plan to if I’m serving a crowd. This reheated ok, but not great and (obviously) was extremely pungent.

Delish!!!! I didn’t have the butter crackers, so, I used saltines. I added some garlic & reduced the amount of mayonnaise. My husband raved about it. Froze what was left over.

I altered the recipe a bit. I threw in a bag of fresh (peeled) shrimp, a large can of fresh crab meat & juices, and 1lb of ‘imitation’ crab meat (For visual and texture). This made the recipe more seafood dense, and less mayo-ee (based on other’s input). This recipe came out amazing. It is dense with seafood flavor, satisfying without being too heavy, and can be thrown together in a jiffy. Soon to become one of my favorites. I’m going to experiment with other cream-soups and ingredients.

Liz, I read your comment agreeing with Skibummer and Petra about reviewing, based on original recipe – not after you have made personal changes. I agree with that concept, however, I read your other two reviews on this site and it seems you are talking out of both sides of your mouth. The holiday roast you made you left out an ingredient as well as combined Martha Stewart’s recipe with the one on this site and the potato casserole you complained and RATED IT DOWN because the potatoes didn’t cook until tender – but you skipped the part in the recipe where it said you needed to boil the potatoes prior putting the prepared casserole in the oven! I suggest you follow your own advice and review based on written recipe and instructions.

Way too runny and the rice wasn’t cooked all the way. Gross.

Really good. I took the advice of reducing the mayonnaise and milk. Still moist and tasty

It seems to be missing something to me. It is ok – perhaps it was because I used fat free mayonnaise?

I had mixed feelings about making this after reading the reviews, especially the ones that said it was bland. The one thing that jumped out at me with the recipe was that it didn’t call for salt. To me it’s just a given, but did some people not add salt? That would definitely make it bland. I added 1 teaspoon of salt to the rice while it was cooking, and 1 more teaspoon when mixing all together. I also used double the amount of crackers on top mixed with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. This is a very good casserole, goes well with cornbread. Also, this makes a huge casserole, it’s more like 12 servings, not six. Unless you’re feeding a crowd, I recommend cutting in half.

Really good. With the leftovers, I made patties and coated both sides in breadcrumbs, then fried in olive oil. Equally yummy! I would have been just as happy without the shrimp, too!

Very bland. Disappointed with all the money I spent on this. Deleting this one from my recipe box. Never know till you try. Thanks.

This a very tasty meal. Next time I’ll add broccoli or spinach.

Family liked it but it was missing something for me. I think that fresh seafood is best.
