Recipe of the Day

Ya'll this stuff is so good, it should be the Recipe of the Month. No, the YEAR! Lulu practically licked her plate clean, and that's a monumental thing around here. The original recipe called for sharp cheddar, but it made it VERY rich, so I tried it again with mild cheddar and it was much better. So much better, in fact, that I ate the majority of the 13x9 dish by myself. If shrimp isn't on sale or if it looks like it's been a while since it's seen the ocean, I imagine you could use chicken and it would be good, too. However, I tend to buy shrimp by the truckload when it goes on sale and freeze it because really, you can never have enough shrimp on hand. Shrimp and Wild Rice Casserole* 1 box Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice, prepared as directed 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 1/2 cups mild cheddar cheese, grated 1 pound shrimp, thawed and cut into bite size pieces 1 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients. Pour into a casserole dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Serves about 4. Or maybe just 2, depending on how much you like shrimp. *FYI--This is neither a weight watcher's recipe, nor a blood-pressure awareness recipe. But it sure is good.

  1. I'm telling you, you're making a big mistake by introducing your kids to shrimp!!! One of the biggest fights we ever had when I was growing up was when the baby sister gave a shrimp to the cat! TO THE CAT!!! She turns 50 this summer and we still haven't completely forgiven her. The same holds true for avocados... introducing them to the kids, that is, not forgiving them. Though when I look in the mirror each morning, I'm thinking the shrimp and the avocados may need some forgiveness. They are indeed sinful!
