This Garlic Butter Shrimp Rice Bake is a delicious blend of shrimp and rice flavored with garlic and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken or seafood broth
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In your 9×13 inch baking dish, combine the rinsed long-grain rice, finely chopped onion, half of the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to ensure that all the dry ingredients are well distributed throughout the rice.
- Pour in the low-sodium chicken or seafood broth along with the fresh lemon juice. Mix everything together until the rice is evenly coated. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- While the rice is baking, prepare your shrimp. In a mixing bowl, combine the seasoned shrimp with the remaining minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix well.
- After 25 minutes, fluff the rice gently with a fork. Arrange the seasoned shrimp evenly over the fluffed rice.
- Return the dish to the oven without the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Once finished, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top.
