Now for the good part

Let’s make it.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Cook rice with water according to the packet. Pat thawed shrimp dry with a clean towel.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Heat oil in a wide pan. Add shrimp, paprika and salt. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, depending on size, until flesh is pearly and opaque throughout. Add garlic for the final minute.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Remove from heat, add lemon juice and parsley and spoon over rice with the pan juices.

Little things that help

Make it your own.

  • Shrimp should not overlap in the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Keeping the leftovers

Cool cooked rice quickly in a shallow container and refrigerate within 1 hour. Use within 24 hours and reheat only once, until steaming hot throughout.
