Creamy Shrimp Casserole With Buttery Crumbs, This is a wonderfully rich and creamy shrimp casserole with a nice flavor that is perfect for guests, potlucks or even a buffet spread, when you want to make something extra good and memorable MAKE AHEAD: The recipe can be prepared through Step 4 and placed in the refrigerator overnight Let stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before proceeding to the next step WINE: Spanish white wines with their bright citrus flavors will complement the shrimp and creaminess here and still hold up to the spices Look for a Spanish wines like the Sierra Cantabria White 2003 or the 2004 Rias Baixas Bodegas Terras Gauda Albarino ‘Abadia de San Campo’ , This was just okay I can think of better things to do with 2 pounds of shrimp I followed the recipe to a T and felt that for the all of the work, it just wasn’t worth it Hubby ate it, but wasn’t impressesed, nor was I I think a good shrimp scampi would be easier and better
