Serving Size: 4

Ingredients

12 3/8 oz (350 g) rice
1 lb 1 5/8 oz (500 g) shrimp
10 5/8 oz (300 g) broccoli
8 7/8 oz (250 g) tomato
3 3/4 cups (900 ml) water
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
1 tsp (5 ml) black pepper

Instructions

1. Chop broccoli.
2. Dice tomato.
3. Place rice, water and salt together in a saucepan. Bring the listed liquid to a boil, then maintain a controlled boil for about 18 minutes; stir and check doneness.
4. Place rice, shrimp, broccoli, tomato, water, salt and black pepper together in a saucepan. Bring the listed liquid to a simmer, cover and cook gently for about 10 minutes; stir as needed and check doneness. Check with a food thermometer: reach at least 63°C (145°F) throughout the relevant protein, checking the thickest part away from bone. Time is an estimate, not a substitute for this check.
