Ingredients
Scale
1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup jasmine rice (or brown rice for a healthier option)
2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
1 lime (cut into wedges, for serving)
Instructions
Start by rinsing your jasmine rice under cold water to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of vegetable broth and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Once done, fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Immediately add the shrimp, sprinkled with paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they curl and turn pink.
Reduce heat to low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet with the shrimp. Stir well to coat the shrimp in the garlicky butter sauce. Toss in the cooked rice, mixing until the rice is evenly coated and the dish is heated through.
Remove from heat. Plate your Garlic Butter Shrimp Rice Bowl, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy the explosion of flavors as you dig into this delightful dish!
