How to Make Shrimp and Rice

Possible Variations:

Try other herbs: These include mint, basil, cilantro or green onions. Add vegetables: Bell pepper, red onion, peas, carrots (thin chopped), zucchini or corn would be good options. Mexican flavor: Use lime instead of lemon, add drained and rinsed canned black beans with the shrimp, replace parsley with cilantro. Mediterranean spin: Add a can of drained chick peas. Include some mint along with the parsley. Replace parmesan with 1/2 cup crumbled feta. Chicken substitute: You can use cooked chicken in place of the shrimp. Chopped chicken thighs that are cooked or shredded rotisserie chicken will work well.

Can I Use Brown Rice?

This recipe was developed and retested using white jasmine rice. Quick cooking brown rice should work well but you will need to adjust cook time and also increase quantity of quick cook brown rice added. I have not yet tested amounts on this, please let us know if you did and what worked for you!
