Shrimp and Pea Pod Casserole image

I got this recipe from 2002 Betty Crocker "Casseroles and Slow Cooker Meals" booklet (they used to sell them by the check stands at grocery stores). I used sherry and Swiss cheese in mine. My family deemed it a 'keeper'.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe. I followed it exactly and the casserole turned out terrible. The shrimp were rubbery and the pea pods were limp. The sauce was watery and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

This casserole was a total flop. The shrimp were overcooked and the pea pods were mushy. The sauce was bland and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I would probably make it again but with a few changes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out perfectly. The shrimp were cooked through but still tender, and the pea pods were still crisp. The sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this dish again.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better. Overall, it was a good dish but I would probably make some changes next time.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The sauce was delicious and the pea pods added a nice crunch. I would definitely make this dish again.

I made this casserole for a potluck and it was a total crowd-pleaser. Everyone loved the combination of shrimp and pea pods in the creamy sauce. I will definitely be making this dish again.
