Spanish Rice with Shrimp

#1, BB 2, 3 & 5
So I was cooking for my dad & hubby the other night. My dad is not a fan of veggies in any way. As I was making this, I made sure to keep the veggies on one side of the pan while still leaving enough shrimp and rice on the other side for my dad. I ended up thinking it tasted a little odd but the hubby said he liked it. I was concerned because the only spice the recipe calls for is smoked paprika. After adding some salt and pepper it was much better.

INGREDIENTS
  • 4 cups Rice Pilaf

  • ¼ cup EVOO

  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 lb. peeled, deveined shrimp

  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika

  • 1 cup Tomato Sauce

  • 1 cup chopped Roasted Peppers

  • ¼ cup chopped black olives

  • 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

  • 4 lemon wedges

DIRECTIONS
In large nonstick skillet, heat pilaf in 2 tbsp. EVOO. Transfer to bowl. In same skillet, cook garlic, shrimp and paprika in remaining 2 tbsp. EVOO. Add tomato sauce and peppers and heat through. Return pilaf to pan, stir in olives and cook 1 minute. Serve with parsley and lemon wedges.
