Shrimp and Accompaniments

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rice and Beans

    While the shrimp is marinating, cook the Spanish rice according to package instructions. Heat the cooked pinto beans in a small saucepan until warmed through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    On a plate, serve a portion of Spanish rice, add the warmed pinto beans, and top with the cooked shrimp. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
