REC--Shrimp Casserole (TNT)
I just made this to freeze for after the baby comes but I have a feeling we'll be eating it much sooner than that! It looks and smells wonderful.
Shrimp Casserole
Prep this ahead of time and freeze before cooking. You'll have a great standby meal for an evening you'd rather spend outside the kitchen!
Serving: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
1 ½ lb medium shrimp, peeled
½ green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
½ cup chopped onion
1 tsp minced garlic
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups skim milk
1 ½ cups cooked rice
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup soft bread crumbs
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, over medium-high heat, cook the shrimp, pepper, onion, and garlic, about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the shrimp are pink. Gradually stir in the flour and milk. Cook 5 minutes or until the mixture is thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly.
2. Stir in cooked rice, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley. Sprinkle over the shrimp mixture. Bake for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
