For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce for a touch of heat. Feel free to substitute other cheeses like Gruyere or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. This dish is excellent served with a side of steamed asparagus or a fresh green salad.

01 Step
Recipe View 25 mins Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside. (Time: 25 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Prepare for Baking: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray. (Time: 5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Sauté Aromatics: In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and celery and sauté until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Time: 10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View 7 mins Make the Curry Sauce: Whisk in flour, salt, and curry powder to the sautéed vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a gentle simmer, whisking continuously, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. (Time: 7 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Add Flavor Boosters: Stir in sugar, lemon juice, and half of the shredded Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup) into the sauce. Whisk until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. (Time: 3 minutes)
06 Step

Pour the curry cheese sauce evenly over the shrimp, gently pressing down with a fork to ensure the sauce permeates the rice. (Time: 5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View 30 mins Top and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup) over the top of the casserole. Dust lightly with paprika for color. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. (Time: 30 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Cool and Serve: Let the casserole stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to set slightly. Serve hot and enjoy!
