This is my first time trying to cook shrimps, and I tried them with an easy red sauce, and rice and pita bread as sides. :)
Time you'll need to make this: 30-40 minutes
Difficulty level: easy!
Ingredients (for 2 plates):
- 500gr of cleaned shrimps (you can buy these at the frozen products - they must be peeled and "deveined", or you can do it at home)
- a glass of whole grain rice
- pita bread
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves of garlic
- mustard
- tomato sauce
- salt
- black pepper
- paprika
- oregano
- a broth cube (preferably veggie)
- butter
- olive oil
- 2 shots of white wine

- a broth cube (preferably veggie)
- butter
- olive oil
- 2 shots of white wine
How to cook it:
- Let the shrimps defrost overnight in the fridge.
- In a cooking pot, add water, a broth cube, a bit of oregano and a teaspoon of butter. Let it boil, then throw in the rice, stir and let it cook (approx. 10 minutes). Drain when ready.
- Meanwhile, wash your shrimps and remove any dirt.
- Grind your garlic and chop the tomatoes in small pieces.
- In a big frying pan, place olive oil (about 5 spoons) on medium heat, and add the garlic and the tomatoes. Add salt and a bit of oregano and let it all fry for 5 minutes or so.
- Add the one shot of wine and half a carton of tomato sauce. Add salt to taste ( I needed 1-2 teaspoons, depends on what you like), and a lot of pepper and paprika. Stir everything well and let it cook for 5 minutes.
- Drink that other shot of wine :P
- Add 1 spoon of mustard in the sauce mix and stir everything very well. Let it cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add in your shrimps and stir around so that the sauce goes all over them. Let them cook until soft (not more than 5-10 minutes on medium heat).
- Cut your pita bread in nice triangles or whatever shape you like :D Add your rice and your shrimps to the plate, and dig in the deliciousness that you have just created :P
- Don't forget to dip your pita bread in the sauce, this is the purpose it serves!
