I love to make this 15 Minute One Pan Shrimp and Rice for a quick midweek meal. I love quick and easy dinners that I can have on the table quickly during the week. Then I tend to focus on more elaborate meals at weekends when I have more time to spend in the kitchen.
Start by soaking rice in plenty of water. Sauté onion in oil until lightly golden. Add the garlic, shrimp, and spices and continue to cook until the shrimp begins to turn pink. Add rice and water. When the mixture starts boiling, cover and lower the heat to low. Simmer until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed all the water. Remove the lid after 10 minutes and allow any excess water to boil off. Fluff with a fork. Serve with a grating of Parmesan on top if desired!
To make 15 Minute One Pan Shrimp and Rice, you will need the following ingredients:
Rinse 1 cup of rice in a sieve or colander to remove excess starch.
Place the rinsed rice in a saucepan and cover with a lot of water. Leave to soak for 5-10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and ¼ cup of onion. Saute onion for 2-3 minutes or until lightly golden.
Add 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 pound of shrimp, ½ a teaspoon each of paprika, cumin and salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Cook the shrimp while stirring for about 1 minute, until the shrimp begins to turn pink.
Drain the rice fully and add it to the pan with 1¾ cups of water. When it starts boiling, cover and turn the heat down low.
Cook the rice for 10-12 minutes, until it has absorbed all the water. Remove the lid and allow any excess water to boil off.
Fluff the contents of the pan with a fork and serve garnished with grated Parmesan.
