Cilantro shrimp with rice pilaf

This recipe will include both the shrimp and the rice. I suggest making the rice first because the shrimp are super quick.

For the shrimp:

Ingredients:

• 1 lbs of shrimp peeled and de-veined
• 1.5 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic minced
• pinch of cayenne pepper
• 2 tbsp butter (melted)

Instructions:

1. Preheat broiler to 500
2. In a large bowl mix together paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper
3. Mix in melted butter, garlic and cilantro
4. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes
5. Place on broil-safe baking dish and cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 minutes

For the rice pilaf:

1. In a medium bowl add the vegetable broth, butter, salt, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Heat in microwave for 2 minutes
2. In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the orzo and cook until brown, about 4-6 minutes.
3. Add the rice and cook until it turns bright white, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Pour the warm broth mixture into the skillet, stir to combine. Once the mixture simmers, cover and cook for 12-15 minutes, on medium-low heat. Remove the cover, add cilantro, cover and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes or until all of the broth is absorbed.
5. Enjoy!
