  3. Season the 12 oz shrimp with salt, black pepper, and a little lemon zest.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the 1/2 diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook 30 seconds.

  6. Add 3/4 cup uncooked rice from pantry and stir for 1 minute to coat. Add 1 1/2 cups hot water or broth from pantry plus 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, cover partially, and cook 14 to 16 minutes until the rice is nearly tender.
  7. Nestle the shrimp into the rice, cover, and cook 3 to 4 minutes until pink and cooked through.
  8. Turn off the heat and finish with chopped parsley and juice from the 1 lemon. Let stand 2 minutes, then serve.
