Should the frozen, cooked shrimp be thawed first? What size casserole dish are you using?

Yes, definitely thaw the shrimp first. I use fresh/frozen shrimp as we live in a shrimping area and always have shrimp. I defrost some frozen raw shrimp, cook it down for a few minutes to get some of the water out, then use it like that.
