FAQ
Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes! Thaw completely before adding to the pan to avoid excess water.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prep the rice and vegetables ahead, but cook shrimp last to maintain tenderness.
What type of rice works best?
Long-grain or medium-grain rice works well; avoid sticky rice to keep the grains separate.
