Succulent Spanish Shrimp With Yellow Rice

Ole! Today we travel to the magical country of Spain where Flamenco, great wine, and food await. But before we pack our bags, I want you to bear in mind that this Shrimp With Yellow Rice is not the famous Paella you may have tasted or heard about.

This dish is Paella's delicious cousin, but easier to make, fewer shells to open, and super delicious. Enjoy moist flavorful rice, saffron, veggies, packed high with shrimp. The rice is cooked with seafood stock to infuse aroma and taste in every bite.

Don't worry! This dish does not require complex ingredients and is perfect if you're entertaining. Pair it with a crisp green salad, toasty bread, and wine. It's also great for a weeknight dinner. Reserve the leftovers to eat the next day.

Two weeks ago, I went to a Seafood restaurant in Miami Beach that I love to go on date night. Instead of ordering the usual, I decided to venture and order the Shrimp With Yellow Rice. As soon as I took a bite, I was hooked! It's one of those flavors that you want to keep on eating and eating.

The next day I was on a quest to re-create it at home. After some trial and error (more error than trial 🙂 ), I finally nailed it and it's not complex as those recipes you see online.

There's no de-shelling shrimp and making a stock from scratch. We all have things to do and don't want to waste time on small details that won't yield significant results.

About the ingredients, I have 2 of my secret weapons for success: Vigo Yellow Rice and Vigo Olive Oil.

Vigo Yellow Rice is completely seasoned with saffron imported from Spain. It's ready in 25 minutes or less and you can use it in any rice dish.

For the Vigo Olive Oil, it is cold pressed, all natural, no additives, no cholesterol, rich in antioxidants and does not contain saturated fats. Shop Vigo's online store for more items or visit your local Publix.
