How to Make Asopao De Gandules Con Camarones

1. In a large 8-quart pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened.
2. Add the sofrito and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the pigeon peas (gandules), rice, shrimp broth, water, adobo seasoning, and salt. Bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has reduced to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
