Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Long-grain white rice | 1 1/2 cups |
| Chicken broth | 2 1/2 cups |
| Large shrimp, peeled and deveined | 1 pound |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1 medium |
| Bell pepper (red or green), diced | 1 |
| Garlic, minced | 3 cloves |
| Cheddar cheese, grated | 1 cup |
| Sour cream | 1 cup |
| Cream of mushroom soup (10.75 oz can) | 1 can |
| Old Bay seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
| Paprika | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish) | 1/4 cup |
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook rice: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Sauté vegetables and shrimp: While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they just turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed vegetables and shrimp, grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Bake: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the top is lightly browned.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy your delicious Shrimp Rice Casserole!
