•1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 1 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup uncooked long- or whole-grain rice
•1/2 cup dry white wine

Directions
In a soup pot over medium heat, combine all ingredients; mix well. Cover and cook 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 to 35 minutes, or until rice is cooked.
