Ingredients

  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

How to Make Shrimp and Yellow Rice Bowl

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, chicken broth, turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  2. While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  4. Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and divide it among bowls.
  5. Top each bowl with cooked shrimp, sliced hard-boiled eggs, mixed berries, and a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro and parsley.
  6. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure shrimp are cooked just until they turn pink to avoid overcooking.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Adjust the amount of turmeric based on your preference for color and earthiness.
  • Feel free to substitute the berries with your seasonal favorites.

Easy Variations

  • Swap shrimp for chicken or tofu for a different protein.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • Experiment with different grains, like quinoa or farro, instead of rice.
  • Incorporate a spicy kick with red pepper flakes or hot sauce.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple green salad with a citrus vinaigrette.
  • Grilled vegetables for a smoky flavor.
  • Crusty bread to soak up any leftover juices.
  • A refreshing yogurt sauce for dipping.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat or microwave until heated through. Add a splash of water or broth to keep the rice moist.
