Curried Rice With Shrimp
Dana Gallagher
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 2
Add the garlic and curry powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the rice, 2½ cups water, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Season the shrimp with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Nestle them in the partially cooked rice. Cover and cook until the shrimp are opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes. Fold in the basil.

I made this recipe exactly as it was published and we loved it! I will definitely be using it again.

This was very delicious. I can't cook much, but somehow I managed to cook this, and it was great!

This was very good and super easy. I did use chicken broth instead of water as suggested by some of the others. Will definitely prepare again!

This was great with some of the suggested tweaks. Added 1 tbsp butter and half a can of unsweetened coconut milk to sautéing vegetables. Also added about a cup of frozen peas. Used chicken broth in place of water also. Made this for a dinner party and it was a hit!

This was great w with a few tweaks. Added a little coconut milk to the the onions/garlic while sauteing. I doubled the amount of curry, added red pepper flakes, finely chopped tomatoes, and peas. Great dish.

This is the first Real Simple recipe we've tried that we didn't love. I think if you really started adding stuff it could be good but it's very bland in its basic form and there are other things I would rather spend my time cooking instead.

Wild rice is the only rice without gluten, otherwise 5% of it's protein is gluten. You're using the 60-year-old definition of GF.

Great dish! I read the comments and cooked in chicken broth instead of water. I also added a drained can of diced tomatoes and next time I think I'll add raisins. Even better as leftovers the next day. We found a keeper for our dinner rotation!

This dish was delicious! I strongly recommend substituting water with chicken broth, which made all the difference.

Got it! I added a little cayanne pepper and a little powdered ginger. I would have added small pineapple bits but didn't have any. So I added some raisins. Tastes great! My friend from Iran used to make chicken curry. She would top it with raisin, slivered almonds and coconut shreds. It was to die for it was so good!
