Notes
Drain seafood well to prevent a watery casserole.
Thaw frozen shrimp completely and pat dry before using.
Fold crab meat gently to preserve the lumps.
Avoid overbaking to keep shrimp tender.
For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
