How to Make Curried Rice With Shrimp

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 cup of chopped carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of curry powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of long-grain rice, 2 1/2 cups of water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Season 1 pound of shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently nestle the shrimp into the partially cooked rice.
  7. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque throughout.
  8. Stir in 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
