Ingredients

1 cup Ramy Wild Rice

4 tablespoons butter, divided

4 green onions, chopped

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

1 teaspoon minced garlic, about 1 large clove

1 teaspoon fresh, grated ginger

1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp

3 tablespoons flour

1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/2 cup whipping cream

2 tablespoons sherry

1 5-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg, to taste

1 cup dry bread crumbs

1/3 cup slivered or sliced almonds

Directions

Cook wild rice according to package instructions. Usually it is 30 - 45 minutes, depending on how you like it. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the green onions, bell peppers, ginger and garlic and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and saute until almost done, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside. (I didn’t saute mine, but boiled them instead.)

Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and stir until well combined. Whisk in the chicken broth, whipping cream and sherry and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place the cooked rice in a large mixing bowl. Add the shrimp mixture, white sauce, water chestnuts and shredded cheeses. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg. MIx thoroughly. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs and almonds and bake, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes, until bubbly.

Too funny - when I saw the "Ramy Wild Rice" I figured you had to be a midwesterner...I was born and raised in Mankato, so I know the name well!! Your recipe sounds delish, and I have printed it off so I can try it on company next time I have a houseful - can't wait to taste it! Thanks, perlandra... Krumkake

LOL krumkake! Actually I was born and raised in Hayward, WI. My sister-in-law, Rose, got me hooked on Ramy Wild Rice years ago (she was also from Mankato).

Rose and John live in Minneapolis now. Anyway, I order my Ramy Wild Rice all the time and use nothing else. I tried to find it once when going through Mankato, but me and directions don't go too well and I could not find it.

Now we have a GPS so might just swing through there one day. I love their rice!

This really is a great dish to serve. Hope you enjoy it!
