Shrimp Rice Pilaf

Irmgard's Note:

This is a very easy dish that I quite often make using leftover cocktail shrimp after a party! This dish can also be made with ham or a combination of shrimp and ham. Serve with a vegetable salad to complete the meal.

WOW!! SUPER!! BEST RICE DISH WE HAVE HAD IN LONG TIME!! My husband and I absolutely enjoyed this recipe. I tried it twice, the first time didn't find 2 cups of broth to be enough (dried out, rice not cooked). 2nd time I used 3 1/4 cups of broth and it was absolutely perfect (cooked 25mins). As my husband puts it, definitely a keeper!!!
