Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 1 ½ tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoon minced garlic, divided
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups brown rice (or white if you prefer)
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro, plus more for topping
  • 1 cup peas (thawed if frozen)

Instructions

  • In a large ziplock bag, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, lime juice, 1 tablespoon garlic, coriander, cumin, mustard, turmeric, and garam masala. Add shrimp to bag and toss to cover in marinade. Let shrimp marinate while you cook rice (shrimp should marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours).
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and add remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil to a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat.
  • Add cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and cloves and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add chopped onion and cook for another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for 1 minute. Add in 3 cups of water and bring to a boil.
  • Add rice, pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon butter. Bring to a boil, cover pot, and place in oven for 20 minutes.
  • Add shrimp to a large wok or skillet with remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Sauté about 2-3 minutes per side, until just cooked through. Sprinkle cilantro over shrimp.
  • Remove rice from oven and mix in peas.
  • Serve rice in bowls and top with shrimp and additional cilantro if desired.
