What each ingredient does
- Shrimp
- Provides the main protein and a tender, mild seafood flavor in the casserole.
- Long grain and wild rice
- Gives the casserole its bulk and chewy, firm texture.
- Cream of chicken soup
- Binds the ingredients into a creamy, moist sauce that holds the casserole together.
- Margarine
- Adds fat for sautéing the vegetables and carries their flavor through the dish.
- Ritz crackers
- Form a crisp, golden topping through browning in the oven.
The step that matters
Bake until bubbly. Baking until the sauce bubbles throughout ensures it is heated through and the cream soup thickens, while the shrimp are fully cooked since they were already cooked and only need reheating.
