chicken and ROTEL mixture. Repeat layers, placing shrimp on top. Add
another layer of Monterrey jack. Cook at 350 for 20 minutes.

MOM!MOM! Notes:
We made this with both canned and fresh shrimp and it was delicious
either way.  We also noticed that Rotel has come up with a mild version.
My younger children won't eat Rotel so this is quite helpful.
