This vibrant dish combines succulent shrimp with colorful vegetables and perfectly seasoned rice, a hearty and satisfying meal perfect for any occasion!
Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This will help remove excess starch.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add in the diced bell pepper and carrot, and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the rice and give it a good mix with the vegetables, allowing it to toast slightly for about 2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, add the peas, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, lower the heat, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
While the rice is cooking, in a separate pan, sauté the shrimp with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper until they are pink and fully cooked, which should take about 5 minutes.
Once the rice is done, add the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently fold it into the rice and vegetable mixture.
Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor. Serve hot with lime wedges!
