Enjoy a comforting mix of shrimp and chicken with vibrant flavors that will transport you to a cozy Mexican kitchen.
Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from being sticky.
In a large skillet or a wide pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the rice and toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly until slightly golden.
Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and season with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
After 15 minutes, add the chicken, stirring it into the rice. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes.
Add the shrimp and peas to the pot, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Serve hot and enjoy your meal!
