Shrimp & Wild Rice Casserole is simply Ahhh-mazing! So tasty and easy, makes this a perfect dish to throw together after a busy evening. I even had a friend comment its the best thing I’ve made for him…a great compliment coming for someone who makes the best Turkey Tetrazzini I’ve ever had.
Ingredients:
1 (8oz.) pack of Wild Rice (We used the 90 sec, store brand)
1 lb shrimp
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (10 3/4oz.) cream of mushroom soup
2 c. sharp Cheddar, shredded
salt & pepper
Directions:
1. Cook rice according to package minus 1/4 c. of water. Drain and cool. (The brand we used didn’t require adding water, simply microwaving for 90 seconds.)
2. Bring 2 c. of water and 1/2 Tbsp of salt to boil in a medium sauce pan and cook shrimp for 1 minute. Drain immediately and set aside.
3. Heat butter in pan and saute pepper and onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Heat oven to 325°.
4. In a large bowl, combine rice, soup, 1 1/2 c. of cheese, shrimp and veggies. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
5. Spray 9″ square pan, add mixture and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
