Note from Ricardo

Day-old brown rice actually works best in this recipe. The texture is firmer, less creamy, which enables it to mix better with the other ingredients.


Shrimp still in the shell? No problem. Just poach them for 1 minute in salted boiling water. The shell will be easy to remove and the shrimp will be juicy and tender.
