It was my husband who told me that this is a winner recipe that I should include in my roster of dishes. He says it’s a unique dish that I can serve any time of the day and during any occasion. I have to agree with him because this is a pretty versatile dish. My friends wouldn’t mind eating this for a party or for a simple dinner. You can just serve this with vegetables or salad as a side dish and you will have a complete meal in your hands.
Check out what our friends from My Recipes have to say about this casserole dish:
“This hearty seafood casserole is filled with shrimp, cheese and rice and gets its Cajun flair from the addition of okra, bell peppers, and cayenne pepper. It’s a great choice for a special occasion meal.”
Whenever I attend a special occasion, I try to bring a different dish; something that I haven’t bought since. This Cajun shrimp casserole is perfect for that role. Everyone will just be impressed by the taste of this that the casserole dish will be licked clean by the end of the event.
