Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Choose the Right Shrimp: Use large or jumbo shrimp for this recipe. They will hold up better to the cooking process and have a more succulent texture.
- Cook the Shrimp Properly: Do not overcook the shrimp. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use Fresh Citrus: Fresh citrus juice and zest add a bright and tangy flavor to this dish. Use a variety of citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, and limes.
- Rinse the Rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking will help to remove the starch and prevent it from becoming sticky.
- Use High-Quality Black Beans: Use canned or dried black beans that have been cooked until tender. If using canned black beans, rinse and drain them before using.
- Add Some Spice: If you like a little bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the rice.
- Garnish Before Serving: Garnish the dish with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, or a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
