"My version of a recipe from Southern Living. I switched to brown rice and reduced-fat cheese; and changed some of the ingredient amounts (increased amount of shrimp, bell pepper, and ground pepper). This is a good solid recipe. If you want to kick it up a notch, go with the cayenne pepper or Old Bay Seasoning."
