🌴 Caribbean-Inspired Surf & Turf Yellow Rice Bowl 🌊
Ingredients:
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red and green)
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the sliced steak, shrimp, jerk seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Set aside with the steak.
4. In a separate pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice, turmeric, and diced bell peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
5. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
6. Fluff the rice with a fork and top with the cooked steak and shrimp. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve with lime wedges.
Pro Tip: For the most flavorful results, try marinating the meat overnight. The longer it marinates, the more the jerk seasoning infuses into the steak!
