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.

CURRIED SHRIMP AND RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the Rice A Roni and white rice in a covered saute pan according to Rice A Roni box directions - Toward the end of sautéing the rice mixture, add curry powder to pan and let it sauté for a minute before adding the water. Don't forget to add Rice A Roni seasoning packet. Be careful not to cook the rice too long. Let it sit undisturbed in the pan uncovered until it is cooled. Try not to stir the rice too much after it's cooked so it doesn't get broken or too mushy. Chop parsley (lots!) and peppers. Mix mayo, juice and sugar to make dressing. In large bowl, gently toss the curry rice, chopped vegetables, raisins, almonds, and shrimp with the dressing. I only use dressing to lightly moisten and bind the ingredients. The mixed salad should still be "crumbly" not stuck together with dressing Tip: If your raisins aren't tender, they usually benefit by soaking them while you are cooking the rice in a little orange juice.
