My mom made this and I thought that she was nuts to mix shrimp & cream cheese. Boy was I wrong! My husband told me that this was one of the best things that I've ever made. For a twist on this recipe, you can add 1 lb crabmeat.

How To Make creamy shrimp casserole

Step 1

Melt butter in 2 quart saucepan; add cream cheese and stir until cheese is melted. *I usually whisk the melted cream cheese and butter together once the cream cheese is melted.

Step 2

In heavy Dutch oven, saute onion, bell pepper and celery in 3T butter.
Step 3

Add sliced mushrooms and shrimp and simmer about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 4

Add the melted cream cheese and butter mixture.
Step 5

Blend in soup, seasonings and rice.
Step 6

Spray a large casserole dish with vegetable spray. Then carefully place mixture in the casserole dish.
Step 7

Toss Cheddar cheese and cracker crumbs together and sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 for 30 min, until bubbly and golden brown.
