3/4 pound large shrimp (about 16), shelled and deveined

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cooked shrimp or buy shrimp that has already been peeled and deveined.
If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a fine grater to remove the zest from the oranges and lemons.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as it will become tough and rubbery.
If you don't have a rice cooker, you can cook the rice on the stovetop. Just follow the instructions on the package of rice.
Serve the citrus shrimp and rice with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, salad, or fruit.

Conclusion:

With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a tasty and healthy meal that the whole family will enjoy.
