Saucy Shrimp over Rice
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Description
A super simple supper your whole family will enjoy!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of shrimp (thawed if frozen; we love Trader Joe’s Red Argentinian Shrimp)
- 1 red onion, chopped
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- salt and pepper
- 1 (4 oz) jar of diced pimentos, drained
- 1 (11 oz) jar of your favorite pepper jelly (we love Trader Joe’s!)
- a few chopped green onions to garnish, optional
- Cooked and ready to eat rice (whichever kind you love!)
Instructions
- Make sure you are using fresh shrimp or that your frozen shrimp has thawed. I like to lightly pat mine with a paper towel to make sure they’re not too wet going into the skillet. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté your red onion until tender in a nice drizzle of EVOO and big pinch of both salt and pepper.
- Once your onion is tender (about 8 minutes or so), stir in your shrimp, pimentos and pepper jelly. Let your shrimp warm up a minute (it really only takes a few minutes), and then remove the skillet from heat and serve your saucy shrimp over your cooked rice. Garnish with a bit of chopped green onion, optional.
Notes
A super simple recipe that can easily be doubled too!

Was the photo taken before the sauce was added?
Mix and Match Mama says
Nope! The sauce is made of just pimentos and pepper jelly, so it’s very light.
