Shrimp Casserole
I absolutely, positively, without a doubt LOVE this casserole. So yummy - if you love shrimp, you will not be disappointed.It's a very simple casserole using a little Trinity (onion, bell pepper and celery), some good andouille or smoked sausage, a couple of cream soups to make things easy, cooked rice and of course, shrimp. By using a package of frozen, already peeled and deveined shrimp, this comes together unbelievably quick. It is really a wonderful casserole that I hope you'll enjoy as much as we do.
Here's how to make it.

Recipe: Shrimp Casserole
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 30 min | Yield: About 4 servings
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 1/2 cup each, chopped onion, celery and green bell pepper (can use red, yellow or a combo)
- 1/2 pound andouille or smoked sausage, coarsely chopped
- 1 (10-3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10-3/4 ounce) can cheddar cheese soup
- 1/2 cup of sliced green onion
- 2-3/4 cups of cooked rice
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Couple shakes of hot pepper sauce
- 1/4 cup of dried bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. If the shrimp are already cooked and not raw, skip this first step. In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt half the butter with half the olive oil; add shrimp. Saute the shrimp just until light pink, slightly under-cooking them. Drain and remove the shrimp and set them aside.
Add the remaining butter and olive oil, and reheat the pan to medium high. Sauté the onion, celery and green pepper until softened. Add the andouille to the veggie mixture and saute until warmed through. Add in the cream of mushroom and cheddar cheese soups and heat through. Stir in the cooked rice and green onion; remove from heat. Add salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste; return shrimp to the pan and stir well. Turn out into a casserole dish that has been buttered or lightly coated with non-stick spray, toss bread crumbs with melted butter and bake at 350 degree F for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly.
Cook's Notes: Substitute crawfish for the shrimp. For a nice crunch, try this dish with panko bread crumbs. To make this dish Lent friendly, simply eliminate the smoked sausage.

ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! Glad to find another Southern gal who loves to cook! :)
ReplyDeleteI made this today, YUM! It will be going into regular rotation. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make this using crawfish instead of shrimp because that's what I have in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteI recently found your website and LOVE it--just don't know where to click next on it 'cause there's so much into that appeals to me! Keep up the great work!
Thanks CajunLeann!! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked that I've never heard of this recipe before. It looks amazing. I will be trying this one out.
ReplyDeleteTracey, it really is a great casserole. I potluck it sometimes and always get requests for the recipe!! Enjoy and thanks for following my recipes. Hope you enjoy them!!
ReplyDeleteMary I made this tonight, made a substitution, went to the store and forgot the cheddar cheese soup, DUH, lol. I used broccoli and cheese rice mix. This came out wonderful, I really enjoyed. I've got a baby shower coming up for a friend of mine, I'm making this casserole and your cheese straws. Quick and easy! Delish
ReplyDeleteOk, so I saw this recipe tonight and decided to make it. Oh My GOSH...it was delicious. I used Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage that had Jalepeno already in it, I used Cajon Creole Seasoning 1/4 tsp, and a couple of shakes of Tapatio Sauce, it had a bit of a kick to it, but mannnnnn was it gooooodd. Definetly a keeper!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracey - I hope you enjoyed it and the cheese straws!
ReplyDeleteAnony - I know that smoked sausage had to be GOOD!! Thanks so much for taking the time to come back and leave a comment - glad you enjoyed it!!
I made this last night and we just loved it! I didn't have the sausage, celery, or green onions so I just doubled the onion and green peppers and did everything the same. It was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Billie! Glad y'all enjoyed it and I appreciate you taking the time to come back and comment. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI made this Thursday evening for cooking club. Our theme was Cajun and I knew I wouldn't go wrong by making one of your dishes. It was so yummy!

ReplyDeleteHi SB - for this recipe we're using cooked rice, not raw so use any kind!

ReplyDeleteLori
Thank you so much Lori! This really is a great casserole - very flavorful and easy!
DeleteYummy
ReplyDeleteIt really is Arthur - hope you give it a try!
DeleteDon't know if you still monitor these posts, but I make a very similar casserole using crawfish. I'd love to try your shrimp and sausage version for Mardi Gras. Do you think that instead of baking in oven, I could put everything in crockpot to heat through and then serve from?
ReplyDeleteHi Angelle - I am!! You know, I've never tried this is the crockpot at all since it's a quick casserole and the rice would be iffy too. Since I've not tried it, I really can't recommend it, sorry!
DeleteI made this tonight for supper and it was as good as it looks!! Thanks for another "keeper", as my hubby says! Try it, you'll love it too! :))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the feedback - I really appreciate it!
DeleteWhat size baking dish? Is this enough for 13x9?
ReplyDeleteOh so sorry about that! This is one of my older posts from before I dreamed of having a dedicated food blog, so I need to go back and clarify the recipe a little better. Yes, you'll need a 9 x 13 inch or one that will hold about 2-1/2 to 3 quarts.
DeleteMade this last night - it was tasty and delicious, and so easy to put together!
ReplyDeleteI love this casserole for that very reason. Glad you enjoyed it too!
DeleteOh my yumminess, Mary...pinned and plan on making this dish! So glad a fan stopped by your FB sharing page to share his photo of the casserole he made! This is a keeper!
ReplyDeleteIt's really good - hope that you enjoy it too!
DeleteThis looks so good! Any ideas on what I could substitute for cheddar cheese soup to make it gluten free?
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole! Afraid I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic of gluten free so I have no ideas - sorry! It's hard to keep up with all the dietary restrictions these days so I don't even attempt to address them & just leave it up to individuals to make adaptations. Wish I could help, but I just have no idea.
DeleteMade this for dinner tonight and it was super! My husband and son both loved it and said that I would have to make it again! Thanks for sharing you tasty recipe with us!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I'm so glad that y'all enjoyed this casserole & thank you so much for taking the time to come back by and share this!
DeleteI make this EXACT same casserole with crawfish. It is ALWAYS a hit. And....if you need to take it to a lunch potluck at work, just dump it all in a crockpot on low when you get to work (instead of putting it in a baking dish) and 4 hours later you have a winner!!
ReplyDeleteYes, excellent with crawfish for sure & thank you for the crockpot tip!
DeleteI'm not a fan of mushroom. What can I use to substitute the cream of mushroom?
ReplyDeleteMake a basic cream sauce with butter, flour and milk or sub in another condensed cream soup - like cream of chicken, onion, celery, or shrimp!
DeleteHi. My family is not a fan of rice. Can I substitute cooked noodles for the rice? Thank you for your time.
ReplyDeleteHi Katrina! I always make this recipe with rice, so unfortunately I haven't tested it with pasta at this point. I do have another similar seafood pasta casserole recipe that might be helpful. It's written for crawfish, but shrimp may be substituted. You'll find that recipe here. Hope that helps!
DeleteMy family isn't big rice fans. Can I substitute noodles noodles for the rice?
ReplyDeleteWow Mary, this dish was a big hit for supper last night! I was told by everyone that" this is a keeper and make often". I did increase the shrimp and sausage to almost double and it wasn't too much lol. Instead of Andouille I always use Butterball smoked turkey sausage because my family really likes that sausage. I did brown the sausage separately but other than increasing the meat/seafood I followed the recipe exactly. Thank you for another delicious dish that I will definitely be making often! YUM!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kilyena! It's a great dish & we love it too. I like the idea of using Butterball smoked turkey sausage too - great tip, thanks!
DeleteHave you ever done it as a freezer meal? Sounds great can't wait to try it
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! I don't do a lot of intentional freezer meals, just leftovers sometimes, so I've not frozen this one, but here's what I would suggest. Prepare the entire casserole, except leave off the bread crumbs and don't bake it. Combine everything, let it cool and put in the casserole dish or foil pan. Double wrap the unbaked casserole with foil, then freeze. When ready to bake, uncover and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then bake, uncovered, at 350 for about 30 minutes, remove and sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs, return to the oven for about another 20-30 minutes or until bread crumbs are browned and casserole is heated through. Be sure to check it in the middle to make sure it's heated through. Hope that helps!
DeleteI'm always looking for new easy meals...and I always have shrimp in the freezer. This is just perfect. Putting this on the menu soon!
ReplyDeleteWe sure love it Michelle - hope you do too!
DeleteMade this a few times now and it is a house favorite! I make it exactly as written and it's always perfect. Thanks for sharing a keeper :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!
DeleteHi Mary
ReplyDeleteBased on the comments and need to prepare a casserole for pescatarians, I will make this for Sunday. Any recommendation besides smoked cheese to substitute for the smoked sausage or andouille?
This recipe is very good without the sausage, so you could potentially just omit the smoked sausage completely, although adding in some smokey flavor with a cheese would be divine!
