Lemon-Scented Saffron Rice image

Categories     Citrus     Rice     Side     Spring     Bon Appétit     Kidney Friendly     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large shallots, thinly sliced
Pinch (generous) of saffron threads
1 1/2 cups Arborio or other short-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt broth
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped lemon peel
1 large bunch chives, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
Salt and freshly cracked white pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and saffron and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add rice and stir to coat. Add stock and lemon juice; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, stir and cover. Let simmer until creamy and tender, stirring vigorously every 10 minutes, 20 to 25 minutes. Add lemon peel and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Stir vigorously until well combined.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, fresh lemons, and fragrant saffron.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality saffron: Saffron is a delicate spice, so it's important to use a good quality variety. Look for saffron that is a deep red color and has a strong, pungent aroma.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will start to lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This shrimp with lemon saffron rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and the lemon saffron rice is flavorful and aromatic. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
