A quick and flavorful one-pan meal, Garlic Shrimp Veggies and Rice combines tender shrimp, crisp vegetables, and garlicky rice for a wholesome and satisfying dish ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • Large Shrimp (peeled and deveined): 1 pound – the star protein with sweet, briny flavor.
  • Cooked White Rice (preferably day-old): 3 cups – the hearty base that absorbs all the flavors.
  • Red Bell Pepper: 1, diced – adds sweetness and bright color.
  • Broccoli Florets: 2 cups – brings crunch and earthy freshness.
  • Carrots: 2 medium, thinly sliced – add natural sweetness and vibrant orange color.
  • Garlic Cloves: 4, minced – infuses bold, aromatic flavor.
  • Olive Oil: 3 tablespoons – for sautéing shrimp, veggies, and garlic.
  • Soy Sauce: 2 tablespoons – adds savory umami depth.
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon – balances the flavors.
  • Black Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon – a gentle kick of spice.
  • Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons – brightens the dish at the end.
  • Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped – a fresh finishing touch.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant, then toss in broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in soy sauce and toss everything together.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Return shrimp to the pan, mixing gently until heated through. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Finishing Touches: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish and sprinkle with parsley.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot, straight from the pan, with extra lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for the best texture and to avoid clumping.
  • Don’t overcook shrimp; remove them from the pan as soon as they turn pink.
  • Add a dash of chili flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
