"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."

This is a great combination of flavors, textures, and colors, Kathy. I've been looking for a recipe that combines shrimp and rice in an oven dish without overcooking the shrimp, and this fit the bill beautifully. I did reduce the butter to two tablespoons and added 1/2 cup of white wine to loosen the sauce a bit, but without loss of flavor. We liked it with a wild rice blend and served it with a fresh spinach salad. Impressive!

First, my apologies for no picture. I made this for one of the Ladies I cook for. It is all made, but she will bake it today for lunch. It was still warm when I dropped it off, so she will just be finishing it. It turned out wonderful, and the flavor was very nice. I used large shrimp, and I did add Old Bay, a pinch of cayenne and black pepper. I thought it needed just a bit more of a kick. I also subbed out red for green pepper, but that certainly didn't change a thing - they looked better at the market. A little fresh parsley for a fresh flavor and color. But none of that really changed the overall dish. VERY TASTY, easy and quick to prepare. I did make a small tasting bowl (a couple of bites) for me, as I had never made it before - before I dropped it off. Mine did have the melted cheese and bread crumbs. A Very Nice recipe! My friends would certainly love it, and it will be made again.
