Spanish rice with shrimp
Spanish rice with shrimp is a delicious dish that combines fluffy rice cooked with flavorful Spanish spices and ingredients, such as tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic, along with perfectly cooked shrimp.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 can diced tomatoes 14 oz
- 1 onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, paprika, and cumin to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the rice and cook for a couple of minutes to toast the rice slightly.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.
- Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the cooked shrimp.
- Serve the Spanish rice with shrimp hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
- Enjoy!
