I was cleaning out my pantry last week and found a can of condensed cheddar cheese soup. Upon further "investigation" I also found a can of condensed cream of shrimp soup! So, I decided to try to create our dinnertime meal using these soups, frozen shrimp and other ingredients on hand. Sort of an "at-home" Chopped! The result was this rich and satisfying shrimp dish that my family loved!
