Shrimp Thermador

My all time favorite meal! :)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Prepare rice (approximately 1 cup) as labeled; keep warm.
On med/high heat, melt:
3 T. butter/margarine
Add:
1 lb shrimp
1 cup thinly sliced celery
Cook 10 minutes or until shrimp are pink
Reduce heat to medium.
Stir in:
1/4 cup flour
Stir till well blended.
Gradually stir in:
1 teas. grandpa salt
1 cup half and half
Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and shrimp are tender.
Place hot rice in casserole dish and top with shrimp mixture.
Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly!

Sidenote: For those that don't like seafood, this has also been prepared with chicken and is still delicious!

Also, this recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc!
