Shrimp Marinade

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine white rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste.
