CRISPY RICE WITH SHRIMP, BACON AND CORN



Crispy Rice With Shrimp, Bacon and Corn image

This one-pan recipe is a great use of leftover rice, though you can also use freshly cooked rice as long as it's no longer hot. The starch in sticky short-grain rice, together with the corn's starch, caramelize into a nice crust that you can remove in big pieces. Long-grain rice will brown as well, but stay loose when served. Try to get a little of everything in each bite: crisp yet tender rice and corn, savory shrimp, crunchy bacon, juicy tomatoes. This recipe was developed with 16/20-count shrimp in mind, but you can use whatever shrimp you find aside from fancy super-jumbo ones. Serve with hot sauce if you'd like.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, patted very dry
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
4 strips bacon
3 ears corn
6 scallions
1 cup grape tomatoes, or 1 large chopped juicy tomato
4 cups cooked rice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large cast-iron skillet or other heavy skillet over high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to the hot oil in a single layer and sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Turn heat down to medium-low and add the bacon in a single layer. Cook, turning to evenly brown, until crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • While the bacon browns, shuck the corn and cut off the kernels. You should end up with about 3 1/2 cups. Thinly slice the scallions and set aside some greens for garnish. Cut the tomatoes in half. (If the bacon is done cooking before you're finished slicing, remove the pan from the heat for a moment.)
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels, leaving as much liquid as possible in the skillet. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the corn, scallions, and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the scallions just wilt, about 1 minute.
  • Add the rice and stir until well-mixed and heated through, about 3 minutes. Press the rice evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Let cook, without stirring, as the rice and corn begin to crackle, until you smell a toasty scent and the rice browns, about 5 minutes. You can lift up a section of rice to peek and see if a golden brown crust has developed.
  • Remove from the heat and divide the rice mixture among four bowls, scattering the tomatoes, shrimp and accumulated juices on top of each. (Alternatively, serve rice directly from the pan, with tomatoes and shrimp on top.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Crumble the bacon all over and garnish with the reserved scallions.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use local and organic produce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking shrimp, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick together.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque: The best way to tell if shrimp are cooked is to look at their color. They should be opaque all the way through, with no translucent or gray areas.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque, then remove them from the heat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for corn, tomatoes, and olives, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder.

Shrimp Veracruz is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrition, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood recipe, give Shrimp Veracruz a try!
