ingredients
- 236.59 ml brown rice
- 396.89 g can chicken broth
- 2 slice bacon, chopped
- 29.58 ml butter
- 236.59 ml celery, chopped
- 236.59 ml onion, chopped
- 236.59 ml bell pepper, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 236.59 ml carrot, very thinly sliced
- 411.06 g can tomatoes, diced (I prefer S&W Ready-Cut tomatoes)
- 1 bay leaf
- 14.79 ml parsley
- 453.59 g raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 14.79 ml lemon juice
- louisiana hot sauce
- salt
directions
- Cook rice according to package directions in chicken broth and enough water to equal 2 1/2 cups liquid.
- Meanwhile, chop bacon and vegetables. Saute in a large skillet with butter.
- Add tomatoes, bay leaf, and parsley. Cover and simmer until vegetables are almost, but not quite, cooked to your liking. Add a few tablespoons water, as needed to keep everything moist.
- Wash shrimp. If they smell "fishy", soak for 5-10 minutes in salty ice-water, then rinse and drain.
- Add shrimp to skillet. Cover and cook on medium heat 3-5 minutes, depending on size of shrimp. Shrimp is done when it is no longer semi-transparent and has taken on a pinkish-orange color. Do not overcook, as this will make the shrimp shrink and become tough.
- Stir in lemon juice and cooked rice. If mixture looks too dry, add a few tablespoons of water. Season to taste with hot sauce and salt.
