Print Recipe

A fast, fuss-free, and flavorful one-pan meal combining garlic, shrimp, and rice cooked together for a comforting dish ready in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz peeled and deveined medium-sized shrimp
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and devein shrimp if not already done, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley. Measure out rice and broth so everything’s ready to go.
  2. Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and olive oil, swirling until melted and hot but not smoking.
  3. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper, then add to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and just opaque. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.
  5. Add the uncooked rice to the same pan and stir to coat it in the garlicky butter. Pour in chicken broth, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and let the rice cook for 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
  7. After 10 minutes, fluff the rice with a fork, gently fold the cooked shrimp back in, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything.
  8. Sprinkle chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture. Cook garlic briefly to prevent bitterness. Use broth instead of water for more flavor. Cover pan tightly to ensure rice cooks properly. Fluff rice gently with a fork. If rice is not tender after 10 minutes, add a splash more broth or water and cook a few minutes longer.
