Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp
- 450 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 60 millilitres unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 0.25 teaspoon fine salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Rice
- 340 grams long-grain rice
- 720 millilitres chicken broth
- 60 millilitres soy sauce
- 15 millilitres sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the long-grain rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine, then reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is fully absorbed.
- Sauté the Shrimp: While the rice cooks, melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp along with salt and black pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.
- Assemble the Stack: Once the rice and shrimp are ready, neatly layer the cooked rice and sautéed shrimp in a serving dish to create a visually appealing stack.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the garlic butter shrimp rice stack hot, optionally accompanied by a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined for ease of eating and better texture.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot to cook rice evenly without burning.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity according to taste and salt preference.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
- For added freshness, garnish with chopped green onions or parsley before serving.
