Savor the bright, zesty burst of lemon and garlic over perfectly seared shrimp paired with light, aromatic basmati rice. This simple yet elegant dish is a balanced, nutrient-packed meal that's both refreshing and satisfying for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Basmati Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1.5 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
Fresh Parsley (1 tbsp, optional)
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels.
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of basmati rice with 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the shrimp in the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Add lemon juice over the shrimp during the last 30 seconds of cooking.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if using.
Plate a serving of fluffy basmati rice and top with the lemon garlic shrimp. Serve immediately.
