Help, I would like to make a Holiday dish with shrimp...?

Question

I want to make something different, but not too different. Is there any such thing as a shrimp casserole? I am thinking I want to bake the shrimp with other flavors for a rich and delicious dish. Any thoughts or ideas please?

I am bringing this to someones house.

Answer 1

It seems this is the only recipe I have that isn't done on the stove-top...

"Quick 'n' Easy Baked Crab and Shrimp" - 6 servings

1 medium green pepper; chopped
1 medium onion; chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup chopped celery
1 (6 1/2 oz.) can crabmeat; drained and cartilage removed
1 (4 1/2 oz.) can shrimp; rinsed and drained
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tsp. butter or margarine; melted

Heat oven to 350*. Mix all ingredients (except bread crumbs and melted butter). Pour mixture into ungreased 1-quart casserole or 6 individual baking shells. Toss bread crumbs in melted butter; sprinkle over seafood mixture. Bake uncovered 30 minutes.
(TIP: 1 1/3 cups cooked crabmeat, with cartilage removed, and 1 cup cleaned cooked shrimp can be substituted for the canned crabmeat and shrimp.)

Lightly spray 6 to 8 scallop shells (or baking dish) with a non-stick vegetable oil.

Divide the shrimp into the shells and cover them with the butter mixture. Bake at 400 degrees until tops are lightly browned.

We like to thaw a pound of jumbo shrimp and a pound of sea scallops. The shrimp is usually already cooked, but the scallops you hafta cook for 10 minutes or so in a skillet with olive oil. Take the tails off the shrimp and add to the scallops the last few minutes to heat them up and also toss some chopped garlic in the skillet. Boil some broccoli. Boil some linguini and drain. Place noodles in a big pot and add a generous amount of olive oil. Add the shrimp, scallops and broccoli then season to taste. Maybe a salad and garlic bread and some wine. mmmmmmmm

Answer 4

google shrimp casserole dishes. One of my favorite shrimp dishes for the holidays: Spread softened cream cheese on a party tray than layer on top cocktail sauce then layer small or medium fresh shrimp on top then you let your guests spread this on crackers. It is so quick and easy and everyone always wants me to make this.

Answer 6

Look up a recipe for Lobster Newburg and substitute shrimp for the lobster. I used cook in a high-end retirement community (Snooty people) and they LOVED this dish. I don't have the recipe anymore. Very good.

Answer 7

Do fettucini and shrimp and broccolli with just a touch of alfredo sauce- it is simple and healthy and tasty- reheats well and has always been a crowd pleaser for me
