Cooking Steps

Boil the rice
1
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan. 
  • Cut the bell pepper into strips and then dice the tomato.
  • Boil the rice for 12 - 15 minutes.
  • Reserve some of the cooking liquid, then drain and set aside.
Make the sauce
2
  • Slice the onion into half rings and crush or mince the garlic.
  • Finely chop the fresh herbs.
  • Zest the lemon and then cut it into quarters.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the garlic and half of the fresh herbs, along with (per person): a quarter teaspoon of lemon zest, half a tablespoon of water and the juice of 1 lemon wedge. Mix well and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fry the shrimp
3
  • Heat a light drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onion with the bell pepper for 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the shrimp and the piri-piri spices* and fry for another 3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink.
  • In a salad bowl, combine the tomato with the rest of the fresh herbs and some extra virgin olive oil as preferred. Season generously with salt and pepper.

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

Serve
4
  • Shortly before serving, stir the pesto and the balsamic vinegar into the rice. Add a splash of the reserved cooking liquid as necessary to make the rice more creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the rice on deep plates and arrange everything on top. 
  • Serve with the salsa and drizzle with the sauce. Serve any remaining lemon wedges alongside.
