Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup uncooked Lundberg Organic White Jasmine Rice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 small onion small diced
- ½ cup green pepper small diced
- 4 ounces mushrooms small diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ¾ teaspoon salt divided
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper divided
- 2 ¼ cups chicken/vegetable broth
- 1 pound large or jumbo shrimp peeled and de-veined
Instructions
- Rinse the rice with water to remove excess starch, set aside.
- Heat a large deep pan over medium heat. Add two tablespoons olive oil, onions, peppers and mushrooms and cook until the vegetables soften and the onions become lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant, about 1 more minute.
- Transfer the rinsed rice on top of the vegetables. Season with oregano, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper and cook with the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the chicken broth on top, bring to a boil, then simmer and cook for 15 minutes covered with a tight-fitting lid. Remove rice from heat and keep covered for 5 minutes before adding the shrimp.
- Combine the shrimp with the remaining olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Nestle the shrimp into the rice when done cooking, cover and allow it to steam with the rice for 5 minutes. Remove the lid. Using tongs, flip the shrimp. Replace the lid and continue cooking until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 5 minutes longer.
- Fluff the rice with the shrimp and garnish with cilantro, if desired.
