This is from Southern Living. So good. However, if you can actually find cream of shrimp soup send me some as I have never seen it. NOTE: I sub 1 can cheese soup & 1 can cream of celery for the two cans of cream of shrimp and add some extra shrimp and I think it is good. Prep time includes time to cook rice and shrimp in skillet. :) Also, I will separate this into TWO casserole dishes, then cook one all the way (follow recipe through to the end) and the other I freeze right before sprinkling with cheese. I am jsut careful to eat it within about one month since there is seafood in the casserole. Also, sometimes I make half chicken/half shrimp or one of each. When I add chicken instead of the cream of celery soup I use cream of chicken. I always use the cheese soup. Really the possibilities are endless :) Also, add some cayenne pepper if you like it spicy. We ALWAYS add cayenne. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice |
1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, raw, peeled and deveined |
1/2 cup butter |
1 green bell pepper, chopped |
1 onion, chopped |
3 celery ribs, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
4 green onions, chopped |
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of shrimp soup, undiluted |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb |
Directions:
1. Prepare rice according to package directions.
2. Preheat oven to 350*F.
3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add bell pepper and next 4 ingredients, and sauté 10 to 12 minutes or until tender.
4. Stir in soup, shrimp, salt, and pepper; cook 3 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink, taking care not to overcook the shrimp.
5. Combine shrimp mixture and rice.
6. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup shredded cheese and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs.
7. Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted.
8. ENJOY! I like to serve this with french bread warm from the bread machine!
