Rice simmered in enchilada sauce gives this dish its amazing, deep flavor. Make sure to sauté your shrimp until just cooked through to keep them nice and tender.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 yellow onion, small-diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1½ cups long-grain white rice
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- ½ cup water
- 1¾ cups Fresh to Market Red Enchilada Sauce
- 1 red bell pepper, roasted and small-diced
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- ½ pound shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and deveined
- ½ bunch cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, sliced into thin rings
- 2 tablespoons queso fresco, crumbled
Preparation
Heat a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, onion, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt and sauté until onion begins to caramelize. Add the rice and cumin and cook until the rice just begins to toast and brown.
Add the water and enchilada sauce, then bring to a simmer, cover, and turn heat to low. Cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
Fold in roasted red bell pepper and black beans, then cover and hold warm.
Heat a skillet over high heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When it begins to smoke, add the shrimp and remaining salt and sauté on each side for 30 seconds, or until just cooked through.
Place rice and beans in a serving dish then add cilantro, sliced jalapeño, and queso fresco, arrange shrimp on top, and serve.
