"I saw this on Simply Ming and gave it a go and I was very pleased. I thought everyone else would enjoy it as much as I did. I just used Jasmine rice, but you can use the white/brown rice mixture if you please."

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs contessa jumbo shrimp
• 1 bunch scallion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup gosling's golden rum, divided
• 2 cups rice flour
