This is wonderful! I used fresh asparagus, cut in 2" pieces, steamed prior to covering with sauce. Instead of canned, definately use larger cooked shrimp. It was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner!

I really didn't like this recipe. Maybe it just wasnt my taste. I took it for thanksgiving and good responses. The asparagus flavor was overwhelmingly strong....maybe because it was canned?

I made this for Thanksgiving and what a hit!!!!

Rather than being concerned about the calories, beware of the cost to make this dish. I went to the store to purchase just these items and my bill came to $29.11! Ouch! But it was completely worth it when I showed up for my friends' "Sex & the City" Potluck Night and they all raved about how great it was. Medium was the largest size of Starkist canned shrimp that my grocery carries and they turned out to be a pretty good size. To cut down on calories, I used fat-free cream cheese which definitely helped cos the french fried onions had more than 100g of fat in the one can. Yikes. So if I could think of a way to use just 1/2 a can and mix it with something else to sprinkle on top then it would be absolutely perfect. Oh yes, one final thing: when I make this again I'll cut up the asparagus into bite-sized pieces. The long strands of soft asparagus were just too hard to eat (and serve).

Cut asparagus worked well, although not as elegant. Will probably use larger cooked shrimp next time instead of canned salad shrimp. The salad shrimp got a little hard during cooking.

Oh my GOD....is this GOOD! I can't stop eating it! Great side dish for turkey! Janelle
