mmmmm, fish stew. Anyone have any recipes for using shrimp in a similar manner?

Dairy version is okay but it is handy to have both just in case...


I made a big batch of Spanish Rice last night; this could also be made in a crock pot...

Saute a diced onion and three cloves garlic (diced) in some extra virgin olive oil. Add one chopped green pepper. When the saute is soft and fragrant, add uncooked brown rice (a mix with wild rice is nice too) and saute in the mixture about two minutes. Season with dried basil and oregano, and salt and pepper. Then add 1 cup tomato juice/sauce and enough water for the rice to cook. Bring to high heat for about two minutes, then lower to simmer (add to crockpot at this point). the rice should be soft in about 45 minutes. Keep checking to see if more water needs to be added.
Serve with grated sharp cheddar cheese on top.
