Tonight, indulge in a burst of Mediterranean flavors with a quick, delightful Rice Bowl with Shrimp and Peppers that will transport you straight to sunny Italy!

1

Start by preparing the rice. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

2

While the rice is cooking, rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry.

3

Chop the bell peppers into thin strips and mince the garlic.

4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5

Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

6

Incorporate the sliced bell peppers into the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.

7

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it among serving bowls.

8

Top each bowl with the shrimp and pepper mixture. Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
