Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 25 minutes

Total: 40 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups of long-grain rice
1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 can (14.5 oz) of diced tomatoes
2 cups of chicken broth
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of cumin
1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the rice cook for 15-20 minutes until tender and the liquid is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, cook the shrimp over medium-high heat until they turn pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the cooked shrimp.
Serve the Spanish rice and shrimp hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
