I was in the mood for something light, fresh and with lots of flavor the other day, so I got online and started to search for a recipe that would catch my attention. I found a shrimp recipe from the Food Network site that looked beautiful from the picture and sounded delicious. Well folks, it was D-licious and very easy and quick to prepare. It also turned out beautiful! I'll surely be making this again and I bet it would be great for a potluck. Here is the recipe for you try!
Cooking time is about 20 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp Cajun seasoning (I added 1more tsp for more flavor)
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 bunches scallions, chopped
3 cups cooked white rice ( I used Basmati brown rice, white is good too)
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional but a must ;-)
Heat the butter, olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the Cajun seasoning and shrimp and cook, stirring until the shrimp begin to curl, about 1 minute.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add the tomatoes and scallions to the skillet and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the rice and 1/4 cup water and continue to cook until the rice is warmed through and the shrimp are opaque, about 3 more minutes. Stir in the parsley and serve with lemon, if desired.
