When you are looking for easy shrimp recipes for dinner, why not consider a shrimp casserole?
I love the way casseroles can bake unattended leaving me free to make a salad, set the table and relax a little until dinner's ready.
Easy casserole recipes are perfect for entertaining too, since they can usually be made ahead, refrigerated and then put in the oven to bake before your guests arrive.
The next time you need quick easy dinner ideas using shrimp, remember to think one dish dinners and especially easy shrimp casserole recipes like these.
