Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned about 30 minutes.
