1½ cups UNcooked long grain rice
3 cups chicken broth (see note)
1 tablespoon butter.
In a large in addition to deep sauce pan, melt the butter in addition to seat the RAW rice inward alongside the butter. Stir in addition to allow the rice kernels toast inward the butter until they merely root to plough brilliant white, thence add together 3 cups chicken broth, stir, COVER and plough rut downwards super low in addition to create the rice for xx minutes. After xx minutes, take away from rut in addition to fluff alongside a fork. Set aside.
Saute the next together:
1/2 loving cup butter (see banknote below)
3 celery stalks chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 greenish onions sliced thinly
1 cerise bell pepper (optional)
2 cups frozen mixed veggies (or your favorite fresh veggies)
Saute, gently for well-nigh 10 minutes. The terminal 2-3 minutes, add together 1½ pounds of raw, peeled, de-veined in addition to washed shrimp in addition to create exclusively until they root to plough pink. Don't over cook, at this phase because they volition create the remainder of the agency inward the oven. I often skip this measuring in addition to usage pre-cooked shrimp (see banknote below).
In a bowl, gently mix the following:
Cooked shrimp
Cooked rice
Sauteed veggies
(2)10¾ oz. cans cream of shrimp soup (Undiluted)
1/4 teaspoon dark pepper
1 cup milk
2 cups Colby-Jack Cheese shredded (see banknote below)
Place mixture in greased 10 x fifteen baking dish in addition to sprinkle alongside staff of life crumbs that accept been sauteed inward a footling butter. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes or until hot in addition to bubbly.
NOTE: The master recipe said to seat all of this nutrient into a 9x13 pan, but it didn't all fit, thence I've had improve luck baking it inward a 10x15 pan (or TWO smaller baking dishes).
NOTE: It powerfulness audio similar 1/2 loving cup butter is a lot, but recall that is for 8 servings (1 tablespoon per serving) and ½ loving cup of butter is necessary for the correct sauce consistency.
NOTE: Make certain y'all usage Colby-Jack cheese. Cheddar (only) is non a skillful choice here, in addition to the Monterrey Jack cheese (in the Colby-Jack blend) is super creamy. You could ever usage American Cheese, that would operate good too. Just brand certain your choice of cheese is creamy when melted.
NOTE: I don't accept a occupation finding cream of shrimp soup, but if y'all do, cream of celery soup would operate good too.
NOTE: For the staff of life crumb topping, Just seat a span of tablespoons of butter inward a shaver pan along with 2 cups of bread crumbs (plus a pinch of kosher tabular array salt in addition to a pinch of dark pepper in addition to a pinch of cayenne pepper) and stir them until they exceed away toasty brown, thence sprinkle on the casserole earlier y'all bake it.
NOTE: If y'all are using fresh shrimp, ignore the following note, but if y'all are using frozen shrimp, it is extremely important that y'all thaw the shrimp inward a colander overnight inward the refrigerator (do non speed thaw inward running water). It is unbelievable how much H2O volition drain out of the frozen shrimp (both raw AND cooked), in addition to that water will brand your casserole SOUPY in addition to SOGGY. Let the shrimp thaw overnight, thence the adjacent day, rinse them in addition to pat them dry. I normally usage medium size shrimp for this recipe (40-50 shrimp per pound).
NOTE: This casserole tin also last done alongside chicken instead of shrimp, merely alter the cream of shrimp soup to cream of chicken soup, in addition to alter the shrimp to cooked chicken.
