Zubereitungszeit ca. 30 MinutenVorbereitung ca. 5 MinutenKochzeit ca. 25 Minuten
Zutaten:
- 1-1 ½ pounds large shrimp (peeled and deveined, see note)
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 1 ⅓ cups long grain white rice
- 2 ⅔ cup chicken broth (I used low sodium)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons Italian blend dry herb seasoning (see note for DIY)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
- lemon slices and fresh parsley, cilantro, or thyme for garnish (optional)
Arbeitsschritte:
- Prepare the Rice
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in garlic, and saute 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in rice for 1 minute.
- Stir in chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Shrimp
- Stir together melted butter, honey (it stirs together more easily if you warm your honey in the microwave for 15 seconds or so), and lemon zest. Pour over the shrimp and toss to coat.
- Uncover the rice, arrange shrimp on top of the rice (with lemon slices if desired). Cover and cook another 3-5 minutes until shrimp is opaque. (See note for alternate shrimp step)
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve.
