Follow these simple instructions to create an amazing Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp Bowl with Herb Rice:
- Prepare the Rice: Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice and vegetable broth (or water) and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for about 18 minutes or until the rice is fluffy. Stir in the olive oil, dill, chives, and lemon zest once done. Set aside.
- Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the Shrimp: Stir in the shrimp, sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine and Serve: Scoop the herb rice into serving bowls and top with the creamy garlic butter shrimp. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the flavors in every bite of your delicious shrimp bowl.
