Shrimp & Wild Rice image

Fixed this last night and it was wonderful. The shrimp were bite size and went so well with the rest of the ingredients. I would imagine that this would also be good with cooked chicken.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 cups small shrimp (cooked and peeled)
1 (6 ounce) box uncle ben's long grain and wild rice blend
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeds and membrane removed, cut in half and thinly sliced
3/4 cup butter, divided
1 cup crushed Ritz cracker

Steps:

Cook rice as directed.
Saute onion, bell pepper and jalapeno pepper in 2 tablespoons butter until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
Mix with the cooked rice.
Fold in cooked shrimp.
Spread evenly into a greased 8X11 inch baking dish.
Cover with crushed Ritz crackers.
Drizzle with 4 tablespoons melted butter.
Bake until bubbly at 350 degrees, about 30-35 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
Serve with salad and garlic bread.

Tips:

Cook the shrimp perfectly: Overcooked shrimp can be tough and rubbery. To prevent this, cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Use a good quality wild rice: Wild rice can vary in quality, so it's important to use a good brand. Look for wild rice that is plump and has a nutty flavor.
Don't overcook the wild rice: Wild rice takes longer to cook than white rice, but it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked wild rice can be mushy and lose its flavor.
Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
Add your favorite vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add your favorites, such as chopped cucumber, bell pepper, or zucchini.

Conclusion:

This grilled shrimp and wild rice salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for summer gatherings. The shrimp is grilled to perfection and the wild rice is cooked to a tender and nutty flavor. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the salad is packed with fresh vegetables. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
