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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the shrimp and vegetable mixture from the skillet to the rice mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil until the breadcrumbs are coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the casserole.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
