Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly rinse the rice in cold water to remove excess starch. This helps the grains stay separate and fluffy.
2
Finely chop the red onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Chop the cilantro finely, and slice the lemon.
3
In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Add the garlic and bell pepper, and sauté for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
5
Pour in the fish stock and soy sauce, then bring to a boil.
6
Stir in the rice, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
7
When the rice is almost tender, add the cooked shrimp and stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8
Remove from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
9
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
