Description
Make this easy one-pan garlic shrimp and rice dish in about 10 minutes for a fast weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cooked white rice (day-old works well)
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
- Add the cooked rice and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is hot.
- Stir in the butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until the butter melts.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together for 1 minute to heat the shrimp through.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving immediately.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked shrimp if you need to reduce the cooking time further.
- For best results, use rice that is already cooked.
- Adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference for garlic flavor.
