Is the shrimp pre-cooked or uncooked? Stipulate what to do for either kind, please. Thanks.

Either will work fine, just defrost the frozen ones before adding in!

One package of wild rice? How much is one package?

You want to use the 8.8 Uncle Ben packet of wild rice!

Also, can I assemble and refrigerate or freeze? How does this change the cooking time?

You can prepare the casserole and pour into a freezer friendly container once cooled down. Move to refrigerator to thaw (for 24 hours) and place into a casserole dish and cook for about 30 minutes, checking to make sure it is heated through. It may take a bit longer depending on how cool it is when you are placing in the oven!

Is this recipe gluten free?

You'll want to check that the soup you're using is gluten-free, as many condensed soups are not. The other ingredients are typically gluten-free, but be sure to do your homework when grocery shopping!

Words, do they matter?

  • 1 lb peeled and divined medium shrimp? Divined? Come on. You are taking money from Paula Dean to get it right. Deveined.
