Quickly sautéed shrimp over rice is a very old, traditional breakfast in the Carolina Low Country. But it would also make a nice quick-and-easy luncheon or supper dish, rounded out with a salad and maybe cornbread.
Ingredients
Makes enough to serve 4
Heat the butter in a heavy skillet until hot and foaming. Add the onion, scallion, garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Pour in the water, and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, just until the shrimp are cooked through. Taste carefully for seasoning, adding more salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Serve hot over plain rice.

Back to TopThis is a great meal that is quick, easy and romantic. Just leave out the onions, use a little less garlic, add saffron spice and pine nuts to really make it unique!

This is a great quick and easy dish. I made it for dinner tonight, and it was a big hit. I also squeezed a little lemon juice over it, and that was good on it.
