How to Make Dirty Rice With Shrimp
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 lb ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Add the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, and minced garlic.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the 1 cup of rice and stir to coat with the spices. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
- Pour in the 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is almost cooked through.
- Turn heat back up to medium. Stir in the 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp.
- Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining liquid.
- Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the thinly sliced scallions and serve hot.
