Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tomatillos (about 8 ounces), husked, rinsed and roughly chopped
1 white onion (1/2 cut into chunks, 1/2 sliced)
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro stems, plus chopped cilantro leaves for topping
1 jalapeno pepper (remove seeds for less heat)
4 cloves garlic, smashed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Combine the tomatillos, onion chunks, one-quarter of the bell pepper, the cilantro stems, jalapeƱo, garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a blender. Puree until very smooth.
  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, then add the sliced onion and remaining bell pepper. Cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatillo puree and cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the rice, cover and simmer until al dente, about 13 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp to the pot and return to a simmer, then cover and turn off the heat, making sure the shrimp are completely submerged. Let stand until the rice and shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes; season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with cilantro leaves.
