Scallops and Shrimp with Rice (low fat)

 I remember when I first got married and my husband mentioned that he'd prefer to not eating anything with tater tots, ground beef and cream of mushroom soup in it. We'd both grown up in Utah, a place well know for their casseroles. Well it's been over 22 years and I've tried to steer clear of most casseroles but sometimes you find one that is just too good to pass up, this is one of those dishes. A few years ago I discovered it in Paula Deen's The Lady and Sons Cookbook and have changed it up over time to make it something that we all just love. I've made it using lower fat ingredients but of course you can always fatten it up :)

Ingredients
Two 6 ounce boxes Uncle Ben's long
grain and wild rice
1 lb Shrimp, deveined, cleaned and peeled

Salt and Pepper to taste
