Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
1 pound medium shrimp (peeled and deveined (I use frozen shrimp, then thaw it))
1 1/2 teaspoons ground chili powder (divided)
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder (divided)
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin (divided)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1 small yellow onion (chopped)
2 small jalapenos (or 1 large jalapeno, core and seeds discarded, diced)
2 red bell peppers (cored and chopped)
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 can reduced sodium black beans - (15 ounces, rinsed and drained)
1 cup long-grain brown rice (do not use short grain or instant, as it will become mushy)
2 cans diced tomatoes in green chiles, such as Rotel (10-ounce cans, 20 ounces total)
1 1/2 cups water
3 medium green onions (chopped)
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (plus additional for serving)
1 lime (cut into wedges)
additional sliced jalapeno
sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
diced avocado

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, swirl to coat the pan, then add the shrimp. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon cumin, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir to coat the shrimp with the spices, then continue to saute just until the shrimp is pink and fully cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining ½ tablespoon oil, onion, jalapeno, and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, black pepper, the remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon cumin. Stir to coat the vegetables and cook 30 seconds. Add the rice and beans. Stir to coat once more.
  • Add the diced tomatoes in their juices and water. Stir to combine the ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer 30 minutes. Remove the lid and stir, scraping up any rice that has started to stick to the bottom of the pot. Re-cover and continue to let simmer with the lid on until the rice is tender, 10 to 15 additional minutes, stirring the pot every 10 minutes to prevent sticking. If the rice begins to dry out, add a bit more water as needed.
  • Stir in the green onions, cilantro, and reserved shrimp. Squeeze the lime over the top. Serve warm with desired toppings.

SHRIMP & LINGUINE FRA DIAVOLO

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/3 cup panko (Japanese bread flakes)
8 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds large (16 to 20-count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced red onion (1 large)
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2/3 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
Arrabbiata sauce, homemade, or 1 (24-ounce) jar Rao's
1 pound linguine, such as De Cecco

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium (10 to 11-inch) sauté pan over medium heat. Add the panko and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper and set aside.
  • Place the shrimp on a plate and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4 minutes, until it begins to soften. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for one minute. Add the shrimp in one layer and sauté for one minute on each side, until they start to turn pink but are not cooked through. Add the wine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce the liquid. Stir in the arrabbiata sauce and heat until it simmers. Stir in the remaining 6 tablespoons of parsley with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and turn off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, fill a very large pot with water, add 2 tablespoons salt, and bring to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the directions on the package for al dente. Reserve a cup of the pasta water, drain the pasta, and add it to the sauce. Toss the pasta, sauce, and shrimp together with tongs or big spoons and allow it to simmer for one minute for the pasta to absorb the sauce, adding enough pasta water to make a nice sauce and coat the pasta. Transfer to a large, shallow serving bowl, sprinkle with the toasted panko, and serve hot.

GARLIC-LEMON SHRIMP LINGUINE

Tips:

  • Use fresh, succulent shrimp: Opt for wild-caught shrimp whenever possible, as they have a more intense flavor compared to farm-raised shrimp.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Remove the shells and devein the shrimp to ensure a clean and flavorful dish.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, paprika, and chili powder enhances their taste.
  • Cook the shrimp perfectly: Avoid overcooking the shrimp, as this can make them tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Use high-quality linguine: Choose a good quality linguine made from durum wheat semolina for the best texture and flavor.
  • Cook the linguine al dente: Cook the linguine according to the package instructions, but make sure to remove it from the boiling water just before it becomes fully tender. This will ensure a slightly firm texture that holds the sauce well.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of tomatoes, garlic, onions, and spices. You can also add other ingredients like bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Garnish the dish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of flavor and color.
