Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Boil the water in a pot or saucepan (see pantry for amount).
  • Cook the rice for 10 - 12 minutes, covered, then turn off the heat and allow to stand until serving, still covered.
  • Meanwhile, slice the onion into half-rings and crush or mince the garlic.
  • Dice the courgette and cut the bell pepper into strips.

Did you know... the rice in this recipe contains phosphorus, which supports normal energy levels in the body.

Fry the vegetables
2
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the vegetables for 4 - 5 minutes (see Tip).
  • Meanwhile, deseed and finely chop the chili pepper.
  • Finely chop the parsley.

Tip: the garlic will be served raw, but if preferred you can also fry it here instead.

Make the chimichurri
3
  • Add the shrimp, the Peruvian-style spices and the garlic & herb seasoning, then fry for 3 more minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the parsley with the garlic, the oregano, the red wine vinegar, the chili pepper* and the extra virgin olive oil.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

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

Serve
4
  • Serve the rice on plates with everything else alongside.
