Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Grease a 9x13 baking pan and set aside.
- Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
- In a large skillet, fry the onions and mushrooms until soft and cooked. Stir in the rice, and mix with the vegetables completely, then remove from the heat. Scoop the rice and vegetable mixture into a large bowl, then make your sauce.
- Place the butter and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. Melt the butter and cook the garlic in it for 2 minutes.
- Add your flour and cook it for about two minutes, stirring continuously until it starts to smell browned, like a baked pie crust.
- Slowly pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, whisking rapidly to ensure that there are no lumps.
- Cook this mixture, stirring, for about 5-6 minutes until the mixture has thickened up.
- Add in the 2 cups of shredded cheese, Old Bay seasoning and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted in. Taste and add more seasoning, salt and pepper as needed. Mix in the green peas and cook in the sauce until tender, then stir in the shrimp and remove from the heat.
- Pour the sauce over the rice and vegetable mixture in the bowl and combine completely. Scoop out into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until bubbling, then sprinkle the remaining one cup of cheese on top. Bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese has melted, then remove. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve.
