Cooking Steps

Make the rice
1
  • Melt a knob of butter in a lidded pot or saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Add the rice and half of the sugar, then toast for 1 minute, stirring well so as to coat the grains.
  • Pour in the water (see pantry for amount). 
  • Boil the rice for 12 - 15 minutes over low heat, covered. Allow to stand until serving, still covered.
Prepare the shrimp
2
  • Meanwhile, crush or mince the garlic.
  • Pat the shrimp dry with kitchen paper and transfer to a bowl, along with the Mexican-style spices* and the garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then toss well to combine.

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

Fry the shrimp
3
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • When the pan is nice and hot, fry the shrimp for 3 minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Chop the onion and dice the tomato in the meantime.

Did you know... onion is a good source of vitamin C, which aids with iron absorption.

Make the sauce
4
  • Heat another drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat and fry the onion for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the fresh tomato and fry for 2 more minutes, then deglaze with the balsamic vinegar.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and the rest of the sugar, then simmer gently for 5 minutes over low heat.
Finish the rice
5
  • Meanwhile, zest the lime and then cut into quarters.
  • Roughly chop the coriander.
  • Shortly before serving, squeeze a quarter lime per person directly into the rice.
  • Add some lime zest and coriander as preferred, then fluff through the rice with a fork. Taste and season with salt as needed.
Serve
6
  • Stir the shrimp into the tomato sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the rice on plates and top with the shrimp. Garnish with any remaining lime wedges.
  • Serve the tortilla chips on the side.
