For a richer flavor, sauté the mushrooms in butter before adding them to the casserole. Feel free to add a splash of sherry or white wine to the cream sauce for added depth. If you don't have crackers, you can use breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter. Ensure your shrimp are not overcooked in step 2, so they will remain tender during baking.
