Steps:
- Rinse the rice well and place it in a large bowl. Cover with water and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes or until you can easily break one grain of rice. Drain well.
- In a large deep pan (with a lid), heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic, peas, and parsley. Season with kosher salt. Cook for 3 minutes or so, tossing regularly. Add coriander, Aleppo pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or so, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables have soften a bit.
- Add the rice (well drained) and season with a good pinch of kosher salt. Add water. Bring to a boil until the liquid has reduced by about 1/2 (you should be able to see the rice, liquid should be barely covering the top). Turn the heat to low. Cover and let the rice cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until fully cooked and not hard nor chewy.
- While the rice is cooking, pat the shrimp dry and toss with a bit of kosher salt.
- Uncover the pan and add the shrimp nestling it into the rice. Cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more or until the shrimp is pink and fully cooked.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve!

FILIPINO YELLOW RICE WITH SHRIMP AND CHORIZO
Unlike many yellow rice recipes, this one - influenced by Spain's colonization of the Philippines - is a main course, similar to paella. I usually make it with jasmine rice, which is all about texture (slightly sticky and soft, yet firm enough to hold its shape) and smell (slight, but distinct floral notes). That said, I have substituted extra-long grain rice, the classic choice for Mexican- and Puerto Rican-style yellow rice, with good results. The shrimp and/or chorizo can be swapped with other quick-cooking proteins or vegetables. Use only vegetables and vegetable stock if you want to make the dish vegetarian.

Steps:
- Combine the broth and saffron in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the liquid boils, stir it, remove the pan from the heat and allow the saffron to steep while you continue with the recipe.
- Add the peppers, chiles, garlic, onions and cilantro to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Reserve 3/4 cup of the sofrito for the rice and refrigerate or freeze the remainder for another use (see Cook's Note).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the paprika and some salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside; reserve the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium low, then add the chorizo and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the fat rendered from the chorizo turns bright orange, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to the plate with the shrimp; reserve the pan.
- Add the rice to the pan and toast, stirring, until the rice turns orange from the rendered fat and begins to look opaque and chalky, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the reserved sofrito and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the capers, brine and 2 teaspoons salt.
- Stir in the saffron-infused chicken broth, then allow the rice to cook, undisturbed, until the surface pokes up slightly and little bubble "dimples" begin to form in the center, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir the rice, then flatten the top to allow the rice to cook evenly. Cover the pan, lower the heat to low and cook for 25 minutes without removing the lid (trust the process).
- Remove from the heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Fold in the reserved shrimp and chorizo and the vinegar. Allow to sit covered for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Peel the shrimp and save the shells. You should have about 4 cups of shells from 2lbs of large shrimp. In a saucepan, add cold water, the shrimp shells, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer. Set aside.
- In a Dutch oven or saucepan with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes.
- Add sliced pimentos and tomato sauce. Sauté for 1 minute. Add rice, shrimp stock, chicken stock, ground cumin, Bijol, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE LID. The steam is what cooks the rice. After 15 minutes, remove from the heat but keep the lid on for another 5-10 minutes.
- In the meantime, cook the shrimp. Season the shrimp with salt + pepper to taste. In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil at medium heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Careful not to overcook or they will be rubbery. Set aside.
- Remove the Dutch oven lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Gently fold in the peas and cooked shrimp until all is well combined. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY
Many Thai dishes are not unlike what we call curries, but although they may contain curry powder, they are more often based on a combination of herbs and aromatic vegetables, rather than dried spices. A typical curry might feature a mixture of garlic, shallots, chiles, lime leaf, sugar and galangal (or ginger). This simplified version leaves out the lime leaf and sugar, but benefits from the addition of a couple spoonfuls of fish sauce at the end of cooking. It is brightly flavored, but blessedly easy to toss together on a weeknight.

Steps:
- Place the oil in a large, deep skillet and turn the heat to medium. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and chilies and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and the mixture pasty. Add the curry and cook, stirring, another minute.
- Add the coconut milk and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is nearly dry. Add the shrimp, a few pinches of salt and a little black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp release their liquid (the mixture will become quite moist again) and turn pink.
- Add half the nam pla, stir, then taste and add the rest if necessary. Garnish with cilantro and serve with white or sticky rice.
