Notes The ingredients for this are often easily available. We made this in 2020 when we were quarantined due to the CoronaVirus. We had Shrimp in the freezer, rice on the shelf and cheese in the fridge. Other kinds of cheese could be substituted. We thought it was great and certainly a "make again".
