Ingredients

• 1 Lb (450 g) shrimp
• 9 oz (250 g) Basmati rice
• 3 limes
• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 5 cups shrimp stock (alternatively vegetable broth)
• 1 tbsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp black pepper
• to taste table salt

Directions

• SHRIMP STOCK AND LIME SKINRinse and peel shrimp. If opt for shrimp broth (good choice!) click here and follow the steps to prepare it. Grate the green part of the limes skin and mix along with the olive oil and minced cilantro, then place the mixture into the fridge.
• MARINATED SHRIMPPour the peeled shrimp in a bowl along with the juice of the limes , 1 pinch of salt and 1 pinch of black pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate shrimp into the fridge at least 2 hour up to 1 night.
• PILAF RICEPour the rice in a sieve. Rinse the rice under running water in order to eliminate all the starch. When the water passing through the rice is clear, the rice will be ready to cook. Pour rice in a small pot, along with vegetable or shrimp stock, 1 dash of salt and 1 tbsp of whole cumin seeds. Cover the pot with an hermetic lid and cook over medium heat until the rice has absorbed all the water (about 9 mins). The rice has to be well cooked but not mushy.
• STEAMED SHRIMPMeanwhile the rice is cooking, raise the shrimp from marinate. Reduce half of shrimp into pieces long ½ inch, keep whole rest of shrimp. Steam the shrimp a couple of mins: they have to be cooked, but still crunchy.
• SHRIMP RICE SALADOnce the rice is cooked, let it reach room temperature as quick as possible. Stir the rice and toss with the olive oil, coriander and lime skin mixture. Add the shrimp as well. Stir shrimp rice salad, garnish with black pepper and serve.
