step by step recipe with photos

Rice is not picky about its partners: add meat to it - it will be delicious, add vegetables - also good, make a sweet sauce - great, a seafood cocktail - please... The main thing is not to overcook the rice, but choose the right spices and sauce for additional products.

In Spain, one of the versions of the iconic (especially for tourists) national dish – paella – is prepared with seafood.

Of course, it would be too bold to call our version of rice with shrimp paella, but there is no need for unnecessary modesty either: try it - it’s very tasty!

Ingredients

• boiled frozen shrimp – 500 g
• rice – 300 g
• onions – 3 pcs.
• sweet carrots - 3 pcs.
• ginger – 1 g
• black pepper – 1 g
• salt – 2 g
• red pepper - on the tip of a knife

Total cooking time: 40 minutes, number of servings: 3-4.

Preparation

1. You must first select shrimp. We recommend using boiled and frozen ones, they are much faster to work with.

2. The shrimp must be kept in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain the liquid and pour boiling water over it again. This way they will be completely defrosted.

3. Wash the rice, add it to the pan and boil until half cooked for 10-15 minutes.

4. Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. Place it on a heated frying pan and lightly fry.

5. Peel the carrots and cut into strips. Add it to the frying pan and fry it the same way.

6. As soon as the onions begin to become golden brown, add rice to the pan. Once all the ingredients are in the pan, you need to add all the seasonings.

7. At the very end, shrimp are added.

8. Add 50 - 100 ml of water to the frying pan. The rice should be cooked well.

9. Place the finished dish on plates and garnish with shrimp.

Note to the hostess

1. The cooking process guide suggests the best method for defrosting shrimp. You shouldn’t treat them like meat, that is, keep them on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for a long time. There they will thaw too slowly, gradually losing the juice that formed inside them during the initial heat treatment - even before freezing.

2. Despite the fact that the time for boiling rice is specified here, you still need to independently monitor the stage of its half-cooking. Surely housewives have noticed that one type of cereal boils quickly, while another is much slower. You need to take out 3-4 grains with a slotted spoon, rinse them with cold water and bite them into pieces. If the middle is crunchy and the outer part has softened, it’s time to remove it from the burner.

3. Many cooks pour rice with shrimp before stewing not with water, but with fish broth. True, it is less often found in the refrigerator of most families than chicken or beef. But there is always saury or mackerel in its own juice stored there. We add this liquid to boiling water, straining it carefully so that no pieces of fish get in, and we get the ingredient we need. What a wonderful smell the dish will acquire!

4. A handful of black rice mixed with white will transform the appearance of this dish and turn it into a savory delicacy.

Rice with shrimp is a wonderful classic combination that is also delicious and nutritious. These dishes can be served for lunch and dinner. They are prepared according to various recipes and which one to choose depends only on you.

If desired, you can use only two types of sauce, but soy sauce is fundamental, and the rest, fish and oyster, are interchangeable;

To prepare this dish, it is better to take palm sugar, it gives all products a certain piquant flavor;

Rice should be cooked without adding salt; do not forget that the sauces indicated in the recipe are quite spicy;

Back in the Middle Ages, rice imported from the East became the basis for an entire culinary science - the preparation of risotto, which acquired the highest degree of skill in Italy. Special varieties of rice provide classic risotto with that creamy, refined taste that will not leave any gourmet indifferent.

The most popular rice for risotto is Arborio. The unusual round shape of the large grains of this rice and the high starch content ensure the perfection of risotto. This rice can absorb liquids several times its own volume.

2. Shrimp or shrimp meat can be bought frozen at any store. If the shrimp have already been peeled, you just need to defrost them. You can simply pour boiling water over frozen shrimp meat, and they will defrost very quickly. Unpeeled shrimp are sold already cooked, so there is no need to cook them further. It is enough to put them in boiling water for a few minutes, then peel them off the shell.
