Shrimp Preparation

Rice Preparation

Method

Rice Cooking

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of white rice, 2 cups of water, and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Shrimp and Vegetables Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 tsp of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the 1 pound of shrimp to the skillet, season with 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced green bell pepper and sliced onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

  4. 6

    Combine and Flavor

    Return the shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tsp of red pepper flakes. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.

Serving
