I needed a casserole witout noodles so I am going to try this with tuna and definately with crab when I get some. I love mayonnaise and I don't use sharp-tasting spices so this recipe should become a base for me getting back into the casserole theme for fall here on the East Coast. Sounds like a good comfort food an I could use some of that, too!

This was ok. I found myself adding garlic & creole seasoning to give it some flavor. I still thought it was missing something but it was a good base to start with. My family enjoyed it more than I did so I'll probably be making it again but will find additional seasonings to jazz it up a bit.

My family loved the casserole! It is absolutely delicious! I used a few more cracker crumbs and then sprayed the top with a little Pam cooking spray!

I made this yesterday and we all enjoyed it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it could have used a little salt. I'll make this again often.

This was pretty good. I did change the recipe, I used 4-5 cups cooked rice, 2 cups shredded cheese, only 1 1/2 cups mayo, 1 Tbsp of hot pepper sauce, and 2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning. It was even better the next day.

I made a few modifications on this recipe. I cut wayy back on the mayo. I rendered out a few strips of bacon and then sauteed red onion, garlic and green pepper. I added a few shots of teriyaki and sesame oil. Omitted the almonds (the kids would never eat it with them) and folded in canned diced carrots and peas before baking. It was wonderfully delicious, but only gave it 4 stars because of the amount of modifications that i made.

Good, just half the mayo and milk. You can also make it easier by using one can cream of shrimp mixed with one can milk to make the sauce -which adds more seafood flavor. I also used one box of wild rice pilaf (Near East brand, 6oz) for the rice, which added more color and flavor. Also added 1/2 cup of shredded cheese into the mixture for extra creaminess. Good base recipe and a lot of room for alterations. ***update*** I used the shrimp peel and boiled it in the milk before adding to the rice mixture and it was SUPERB. Try it.

The only problem I had was that with a family of seven to feed the ratio of seafood to rice seemed exorbitant. I multipled the rice by 2.5 and it turned out GREAT! I also used fake crab legs, which were okay but next time I will splurge and use the real stuff, this recipe deserved it!

Unfortunately this recipe gets an ugh... The mayonnaise really over powers the whole recipe, and it feels like a mish mash of things. Sorry, wouldn't try it again nor recommend it.

I liked this recipe. I halved the recipe to three servings, but it made enough for four servings of the size shown in the photo. Instead of a cup of mayo, I only used 2/3 cup, and it tasted fine. However, I still used 10 crackers for the topping, otherwise it would have been rather thin with only five. Some other reviewers stated they found this recipe somewhat bland. This can be offset by simply adding a little lemon juice, to taste, at serving time.

I always make this casserole for my non meat-eating friends. I added chopped celery, chopped waterchestnuts, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese to my casserole ingredients. Up until you add the cheese and breadcrumbs, you can easily make this a day ahead. (I personally like this recipe to sit 24 hours to let all the flavors meld.)

my husband and I LOVED this recipe - the kids, not so much-but hey, they're picky. I added some crumbled up bacon and sauted 1/2 the onions w/some diced carrots (for color), leaving 1/2 the onions raw. I used a combo of canned crab meat & 2 different sized shrimp, and added some shredded 4-cheese blend. Awesome! and the leftovers were even better.

This recipe was great! I did add some parmesan and some garlic after reading the reviews. I also tasted it cold the next day and it was wonderful. I will probably eat the leftovers cold! I may add some parsley next time just for color.

I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe. I was a little nervous about cooked mayo, but this is veyr good. This was a big hit & even better the day after. I didn't have crab so I left it out. Added a little thyme & basil. Will use a little less onion next time.

This has become a favorite recipe. Most recently I used brown instead of white rice and thought it improved both the flavor and texture; slightly nutty and more substantial.
