Hunt’s® Shrimp and Rice Skillet #HuntsSignatureRecipes
It’s not often that I find a recipe on a brand’s website that I fall in love with, but this one from Hunt’s Signature Recipes – Shrimp and Rice Skillet - is certainly an exception. It reminds me a little bit of Spanish rice or a New Orleans style rice and shrimp dish.
This was a big hit with my husband, Paul, who added a few dashes of his favorite hot sauce to spice it up. I found it very easy to make and something that I could cook up often, since I stock shrimp and peas in the freezer and cans of Hunt’s FlashSteamed Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes and Tomato Sauce along with some long-grain white rice in the pantry.
I usually have onions on hand, too, along with a jar of caldo con sabor de pollo (Mexican style, powdered chicken bouillon that you can find in the Hispanic section of your supermarket). If you’re unable to find caldo con sabor de pollo or don’t want to use it because it contains MSG, you could substitute chicken broth for the water and add a big pinch of kosher salt.
Also, I did make one slight change to Hunt’s original recipe. I did NOT drain the can of Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes as I didn’t see the need to. Also, while the rice is cooking during the final simmer, make sure to check it once in a while to make sure the rice isn’t sticking to the pan and browning. If you find that it is, lower the heat a bit and give the rice mixture a good stir.
