Shrimp with Spicy Green Rice image

Taking a cue from the Venetian risi e bisi, a soupy rice-and-peas, this version with shrimp highlights sweet, crunchy sugar snap peas with Southeast Asian ingredients: the heat of chiles and ginger, the freshness of basil and cilantro, and the salty depth of fish sauce.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the green rice was flavorful. I will definitely be making this again, but I will add some more spices next time.
