This cheesy Shrimp Casserole Recipe is a delicious combination of cheese, shrimp and rice in creamy mushroom soup, that can be served as a party appetizer or a weeknight family meal.
When Minute ® Rice asked us to try out their Minute ® Multi-Grain Medley it was perfect timing because I was just starting to plan out what dish I wanted to make for the New Year’s Eve party I’m attending.Â
I usually make my mom’s shrimp and rice casserole around the holidays and I knew that the Minute ® Multi-Grain Medley would work perfectly…and that my friends would love me for bringing it!Â
The recipe is simple, you mix cooked rice, cooked shrimp, cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup and a few spices together and then bake it. I usually make it with wild rice but I loved it with Minute® Rice’s Minute® Multi-Grain Medley! It is gluten-free, made with a mix of 100% whole grains, including long grain brown rice, Thai red rice, wild rice and quinoa, AND Minute® Multi-Grain Medley cooks in the microwave in just 10 minutes so it makes an already easy recipe even easier.
When I make this dish as a family meal I make it in a big casserole dish but since I’m taking it to a New Year’s Eve party I wanted to make it a little fancier, so I’m cooking it in individual ramekins. Mine have lids but if yours don’t you can just cover them with aluminum foil. Since all of the ingredients are pre-cooked and you’re just waiting for the cheese to melt and the dish to heat all the way through, a large dish takes about 45 minutes in the oven. The great thing about serving it in individual ramekins is that it is ready even faster. In about 20 minutes you have a meal everyone will enjoy.

bonnie says
I have never seen Minute® Multi-Grain Medley I am from Ontario Canada what can I use instead? t
Kat says
You can use any wild rice, instant or not instant. Just cook it according to the instructions on the package and then follow our recipe. If you aren’t a fan of wild rice this recipe works with any type of rice but I do think that the seasonings that are usually in a boxed wild rice add a lot of flavor.
Trina says
Just made this and it is easy and delicious!!
Melinda says
YAY!! Thanks Trina

Amazing blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost
on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for
a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed ..
Any ideas? Cheers!
Kat says
You should definitely start with WordPress that is what most bloggers use and it is free. Pay for hosting and a domain name and use WordPress.org vs WordPress.com. That way you will own your blog and you won’t have to move things over as you grow. WordPress comes with most hosting packages
Tamara says
Hi there! Just wondering how much rice is equal to 3 bags… I don’t have any Minute Rice. I am using wild rice instead.
Kat says
You should use 8 oz (dry) of wild rice.
Mary Lockwood says
Havent’ made it yet,, but preparing to do so in a casserole main dish for Christmas Eve. Should I change amounts of any ingredient to make up 2 pds of shrimp? i.e. should I use 4 tsp Old Bay? 4 tsp onioin pouder? What about amts of cheese, , bags of Minute Multi Grain Medley and mushroom soup? I know some recipes don’t double well. Hope you read this in time before I double everything tomorrow!! And, one last thing: Merry Christmas!!
Kat says
This recipe should double easily. I would double all of the ingredients. I hope you enjoy it!! Merry Christmas!!
George says
