Cook flavorful garlic shrimp and rice together in a single skillet for an easy weeknight meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Stir in the uncooked rice, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Pour in the broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the skillet tightly with a lid or foil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Do not lift the lid during this time.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir in the shrimp, distributing them evenly over the rice.
  8. Cover the skillet again and let it stand for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  9. Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium broth to control the final salt level.
  • If your skillet is not oven-safe, you can cover it tightly with a lid instead of foil for the rice cooking step.
  • For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon of butter when stirring in the shrimp.
