Cooking Instructions

Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they are soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the Rice
Add the long-grain rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the olive oil and mix with the vegetables. Cook for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

Combine with Broth and Seasonings
Pour in the chicken broth, and add the salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Cook the Rice
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Add Shrimp and Vegetables
Stir in the shrimp and frozen mixed vegetables. Cover again and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

Finish with Cilantro
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Let it sit covered for a couple of minutes before serving.
