Ingredients
- 1 cup Italian dressing bottled, "zesty"
- 1 ½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 cup green peas frozen, small
- 1 pound Shrimp shelled
- 3 green onions chopped
- 4 artichoke hearts chopped, canned
- 2.25 ounces black olives canned sliced
- ¼ cup parsley chopped, fresh
- lemon juice of 2
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan bring the dressing, water, and pepper just to the boil. Stir in the rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 20 minutes.
- Stir the frozen peas into the cooked rice. Cover and set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp, cover the pan, and remove from the heat. The shrimp are cooked when they turn pink – 3-4 minutes at the most. Drain the shrimp and as soon as they are cool enough to handle, remove the tails and cut the shrimp into 2 or 3 pieces each.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice and peas with the shrimp and all remaining ingredients. Toss until well combined. Taste and add salt only if needed.
- Serve while still warm or at room temperature.
