Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
- 5 Tbsp butter, divided, cut into 1/2-Tbsp pieces
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp lemon zest (from 1 medium lemon)
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place rice in a fine sieve. Rinse under cold water until water is nearly clear, about 1 minute. Drain well then set aside.
- Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and saute 4 minutes.
- Add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.
- Pour in chicken broth, lemon zest and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then pour in rice and give it a quick stir.
- Cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer 13 minutes (meanwhile peel the shrimp to make the most of the time).
- After 13 minutes quickly add the shrimp to the rice in an even layer, drizzle with lemon juice, dot with remaining 4 Tbsp butter. Cover and continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes longer until shrimp are about halfway cooked.
- Remove from heat. Toss in parmesan and parsley. Let rest for a few minutes, covered until shrimp are fully cooked through from the residual heat.
