Hot Shrimp Salad Casserole
If a shrimp salad and a cozy casserole had a baby, this would be it—warm, creamy, crunchy, and so easy it practically makes itself. This Hot Shrimp Salad Casserole is my go-to when I want something comforting but still feel like pretending I'm at a seaside café. It’s got that retro-chic vibe (hello, water chestnuts and buttery cracker topping!) with a modern ease that makes it perfect for weeknights, potlucks, or “I just need something delicious right now” days. Let’s make some magic with shrimp and a baking dish, shall we?
