Prepare a flavorful shrimp and rice bowl featuring shrimp cooked in garlic butter and topped with a rich, homemade garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
  2. In a small bowl, prepare the garlic sauce: whisk together mayonnaise, heavy cream, 2 minced garlic cloves, Dijon mustard, and paprika until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
  4. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with olive oil over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the remaining 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  6. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  7. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and chicken broth to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  8. Stir in the lemon juice and let the sauce simmer for 1 minute until slightly reduced. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat.
  9. Assemble the bowls: Place a serving of cooked rice in the bottom of each bowl.
  10. Top the rice with the garlic butter shrimp.
  11. Drizzle the prepared garlic sauce generously over the shrimp and rice. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, pat the shrimp dry before seasoning to help them sear better.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a teaspoon of water or milk to the garlic sauce mixture.
  • You can add steamed broccoli or sliced green onions as a topping for extra texture.
