Rice

Salt to taste

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Half a red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 oz mushrooms, trimmed and chopped

Bring the broth, rice, oil, and salt to a boil in a large saucepan. When the liquid returns to the boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer 40 -50 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid has evaporated. Set aside.

Yum! Shrimp is my favourite source of protein. I could eat it everyday, if it weren’t so pricey! This looks like such a simple dish to make and yet it is bursting with flavour. I am going to give it a try 🙂

You only need 5 or 6 shrimp per person, so hopefully, it will be affordable. It is such a great tasting seafood.
