Ingredients

  • 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup of rice
  • 2 cups of water
  • 3 tablespoons of butter
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Large pot with lid
  • Large skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife

Method

  1. Start by cooking the rice. Rinse the rice and add it to a large pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and fluffy.
  2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the shrimp. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Add the paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and stir to combine.
  5. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
  6. To serve, divide the cooked rice between four bowls or plates. Top each serving with the shrimp and garlic butter sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter sauce.
  • If you want to make this dish even more filling, add some sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the shrimp and garlic butter sauce.
  • For a healthier version, use brown rice instead of white rice.
