Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 12 oz fresh peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Rice

  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • Pinch of salt

Cooking and Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the long grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, adding turmeric powder and a pinch of salt to the cooking water to infuse the rice with a golden color and earthy aroma.
  2. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine peeled and deveined shrimp with honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat and let marinate for at least 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. The honey will caramelize slightly, creating a delicious glaze.
  4. Combine and Serve: Fluff the turmeric-infused rice with a fork. Serve the rice topped or alongside the glazed shrimp. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh or properly thawed shrimp for best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture; cook just until pink and opaque.
  • Toast turmeric powder lightly before cooking to enhance its flavor and aroma, if desired.
  • Adjust the amounts of honey and lemon juice to suit your preferred balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving to maintain their bright color and freshness.
