Giadas Nonna Lunas Rice And Shrimp Dish Recipe 35

Steps:

• Place the garlic clove in the pot. Add 1/2 stick butter and melt over low heat. Stir garlic clove with wooden spoon, to infuse butter with garlic. Add salt. When butter is all melted, scoop garlic out and place it in the other pan (for shrimp). Place the 2 cups rice into the butter and mix well. Turn heat up to medium high. Stir rice to point of browning, do not let it pop. Add chicken stock to pot, place on medium heat and cover. DO NOT REMOVE LID UNTIL COOKED - Use a See-Through lid.

Steps:

• In a medium nonstick saucepan, heat 1/2 of the butter over medium-low heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken stock and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer covered for 20 to 25 minutes until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and rest covered for 5 minutes.
• In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Stir in the cream and heat through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
