Shrimp with Spicy Green Rice image

Taking a cue from the Venetian risi e bisi, a soupy rice-and-peas, this version with shrimp highlights sweet, crunchy sugar snap peas with Southeast Asian ingredients: the heat of chiles and ginger, the freshness of basil and cilantro, and the salty depth of fish sauce.

2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 white onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
2 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken or vegetable stock, or water
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 poblano chile, seeded and finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until it is soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add rice, and stir to coat. Add stock, and bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

  • Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.
  • For a more flavorful rice, add herbs, spices, or vegetables to the cooking water.
  • Serve the rice immediately or let it cool and store it in the refrigerator for later use.
