TravelTalkOnline Forums People Talk Recipes Shrimp Tetrazzini - Good Fall Dish

Comfort Food... tasty...
I like to top the final casserole with bread crumbs mixed with a little melted butter and the grated parmesian cheese before baking...

I was going to make a shrimp, sausage and shrimp gumbo but your tetrazzini looks so delicious I've change my mind.

Had a shrimp and sausage gumbo at a football watch-in Sat night. It was really good, but I think next game, we'll do the Shrimp Tetrazzini.

Can this recipe be doubled/trippled and come out ok or should I make three batches?

I have doubled it in the past with the same results...
I don't see trippling it being bad...
BTW... the leftovers are even better the next day!

Brian, Anything with capers gets my vote. Sounds yummy.
