  • 2 cups Minute rice
  • 1.5 pounds cooked shrimp, lobster or crab meat
  • 2 cans Cheddar cheese soup
  • 2 2/3 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Tips & Substitutions

For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the cheese soup mixture. If you don't have dill weed, fresh parsley or tarragon can be used as a substitute. You can also mix in some cooked vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrition. For a twist on this dish, try using crab meat instead of shrimp for a different seafood taste.
