REDUCED FAT ( DOESN'T TASTE LIKE IT) SHRIMP & RICE CASSEROLE
This is a recipe that I clipped from a magazine years ago, but unfortunately can't remember which one. It was a makeover version of a person's favorite high fat casserole into a reduced fat/calorie dish. My husband and I really enjoy this. I usually serve it with a salad or steamed vegetable for a complete dinner. (Note: Cooking time does not include time to cook brown rice.)

Tips:
- Cook the rice properly: Make sure the rice is cooked properly before adding it to the casserole. Undercooked rice will make the casserole dry and unappetizing.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your casserole. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to avoid overcooking it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese you use in your casserole will have a big impact on the overall flavor. Choose a cheese that is flavorful and melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors in your casserole. There are no hard and fast rules, so have fun and see what you like best.
