Ingrediënten
Pat the shrimp dry with kitchen paper before seasoning. This helps the marinade stick better and gives the shrimp a nice crust when cooked.
Rinse the basmati rice several times under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and results in fluffier rice that doesn’t stick.
Once you’ve added the rice and water, leave it undisturbed. Stirring can cause the rice to become sticky.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice rest with the lid on. This helps it become fluffier and absorb the final flavors.
Shrimp cook quickly and can become dry and tough if overcooked. Once they are pink and firm, they are done. This usually takes 2-3 minutes.
A simple cucumber salad with lemon dressing pairs perfectly with this dish.
Serve the dish with flatbread.
