SHRIMP AU GRATIN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly spray a quiche pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• 2. In a large skillet, heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the seasoning mix. Add shrimp and cook until just turning pink (shrimp will finish cooking in the oven), about 2 minutes. Stir in the chives. Remove mixture from pan into the prepared quiche pan.
• 3. Add remaining tablespoon butter to pan and when melted, whisk in flour. Do not allow flour to brown. Whisk in the milk and cream and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to thicken, 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and 1/2 cup of the jack cheese.

CURRIED SHRIMP AU GRATIN

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan, and cook the onion and celery over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk in the flour, salt, and curry powder until smooth; let cook for a minute or two. Gradually whisk in the milk, and bring almost to a boil, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese; whisk until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
• Spread the cooked rice out into the prepared baking dish, and top with the cooked shrimp in an even layer. Cover the shrimp with the cheese sauce; push the tines of a fork all over the casserole between the shrimp to allow the sauce to soak into the rice. Top the casserole with the remaining Cheddar cheese, and garnish with paprika.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 30 minutes.
