Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fish fillets for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen fish fillets! Just ensure they are completely thawed before placing them in the baking dish. This helps the fish cook evenly and prevents excess moisture from affecting the texture.

Certainly! To make this dish gluten-free, use a gluten-free cream of shrimp soup or make your own using gluten-free ingredients. Always check labels for any hidden gluten in store-bought products.
What can I substitute for shrimp if I don't like seafood?
If you're not a fan of shrimp, you can omit it entirely or replace it with cooked chicken or tofu to maintain the protein content. Alternatively, try adding vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added flavor and texture.
