Yield: 6 servings

-JUDI M. PHELPS
1 1/2 lb Large shrimp
3 tb Oil; preferably canola or
-corn
2 md Onions; chopped
2 Garlic cloves; minced
1 lg Green bell pepper; chopped
1/4 c Roasted green chile;
-preferably Poblano or New
-Mexican, fresh or frozen
1 ts Cumin seeds; toasted and

1 ts Dried oregano; preferably

1 ts White pepper
1 ts ;salt
1 Bay leaf
1 1/2 c Rice; uncooked
3 c Shrimp or seafood stock
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
6 Green onions; sliced
1/2 c Cilantro; chopped

Peel, and, if you wish, devein the shrimp. Save the
shells for stock. Refrigerate the shrimp until you
are ready to use them.

Warm the oil in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven over
medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, green pepper,
and green chile, and saute them, stirring
occasionally, until the onions have softened, about 5
minutes. Add the dried seasonings and the rice,
stirring to coat all the grains, and cook another
couple of minutes. Add the stock and the lemon juice,
and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover the skillet,
reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer 18 minutes.
Check the mixture toward the end of the cooking time,
and stir if the rice appears to be sticking. Add the
shrimp and the sliced green onions, stirring to
incorporate them. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more.

Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the shrimp
and rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Then sprinkle
the cilantro over the dish, and serve it immediately.
Eat any leftovers the next day. Source: Texas Home
