Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 stalks Celery (diced)
- 1 medium Green bell pepper (diced)
- 2 cups Shrimp stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with olive oil and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp stock and heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to slightly thicken.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are just turning pink. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp and vegetable mixture from the skillet to the rice mixture and stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil until the breadcrumbs are coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
