The amount of Ritz crackers to use is one sleeve, but the Recipezaar brain doesn't understand that measurement. It comes out to about a cup when I crush them up using my Cuisinart.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs yellow squash, sliced
1 large white onion, sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed
1/2 cup milk
1 cup small cooked shrimp
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs
Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place squash and onion in a large pot. Add 1/4 cup of water. Cover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the squash is no longer white and hard in the center - this usually takes about 10 minutes, but could take longer if your squash slices are very thick. Drain the squash well.
  • While squash is cooking, put butter, Velveeta and milk in a microwave safe bowl. Cover bowl loosely with waxed paper and microwave on high, stopping to stir mixture every 30 seconds or so.
  • When butter and velveeta are melted, remove bowl from microwave.
  • Mix together well-drained squash, cheese mixture, shrimp, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Ritz cracker crumbs, and add Tabasco to taste.
  • You may top with breadcrumbs or additional cracker crumbs if you like.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe yellow squash: Look for squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the squash: This will help to prevent the squash from becoming mushy.
  • Cook the squash until it is tender: The squash should be soft enough to easily pierce with a fork.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to yellow squash, you can also add other vegetables to this casserole, such as zucchini, carrots, or bell peppers.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese you use in this casserole will add a lot of flavor. Try using a sharp cheddar cheese or a Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve the casserole hot: This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. It can be served as a main course or as a side dish.

Conclusion:

Yellow squash casserole with shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. This casserole is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this yellow squash casserole with shrimp a try.
