Ingredients
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, divided, at room temperature
- 2 cups parboiled long-grain rice, such as Uncle Ben's
- 3 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 pounds small shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 cup whipping cream
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a medium nonstick saucepan, heat 1/2 of the butter over medium-low heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken stock and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer covered for 20 to 25 minutes until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and rest covered for 5 minutes.
In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Stir in the cream and heat through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Using a fork, fluff the rice and arrange on a platter. Spoon the shrimp cream sauce over the rice and serve.

This was so tasty! I would cut the lemon juice by half but overall fabulous and easy to make. We actually put it over orzo versus rice. Nice twist!!

Everything is excellent, but cut the lemon juice down to 1/4 cup, at 1/2 cup it overpowers the whole dish.

I started with Giada's recipe then took a turn towards Spain. Something about browning the rice made me think Paella. I added saffron and 2 bay leaves to the rice and pretty much followed the recipe for the shrimp. It tasted fantastic but was lacking a crisp or crunchy element. I ended up pouring it over the rice adding baby peas to the pot. Delicious!
