Curried Rice with Shrimp


































I came accross this recipe through Whole Foods' Online Recipe Guide, which has pages and pages of incredibly delicious and healthy dinner, lunch and breakfast ideas. Shrimp curry, out of all, sounded the best for this chilly Thursday :)

Follow these instructions for a savory shrimp curry dish:

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes.
  3. Add the rice, 2½ cups water, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
  4. Season the shrimp with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Nestle them in the partially cooked rice. Cover and cook until the shrimp are opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes. Fold in the basil.
