Notes
Here are some tips for making this dish:Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp is done cooking when it turns pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Use a light hand when seasoning the dish. You can always add more seasoning, but it's hard to take it away. Bake the casserole until it is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve the casserole hot and enjoy!
