Simply Spicy

If you’re new to making Indian food, this has got to be one of the simplest recipes to try. Not to mention, it takes just 30 minutes to pull everything together from prep to plate.

Using Success® Boil-In-Bag Basmati Rice makes a successful dinner easy and cuts down significantly on the cook time!

Cooking Up Flavor

To make this dish a success, prep all of your ingredients before starting. While your rice is cooking, start sautéing the onions in a skillet. Once the onions are translucent, add in the chopped tomato. Feel free to add a dash of salt and squish the tomato with the spatula to help it release its juice and cook down.

After two minutes, add in the spices and blend well. At this point, it’s important to turn the heat down to medium-low because shrimp cook quickly over high heat. If you notice that the pan is beginning to dry out, add a small amount of water to keep the ingredients moist.

Cilantro is a fresh herb that pairs excellently with Indian dishes with garam masala, garlic or turmeric. It can also stand alone as a delicious and powerful herb in this Cilantro Lime Rice dish. If you find you’re not a fan, simply omit it or replace it with parsley.
