Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 16 oz. shrimp, follow same instructions as 8 oz., working in batches if necessary. 

  • If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner and stir in 1/4 tsp. salt. Fluff rice with a fork.

    Cover and set aside.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" dice.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Pat shrimp dry and season all over with piri piri seasoning (use less if spice-averse) and a pinch of pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add bell peppers, white portions of green onions, and corn to hot pan. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 3-4 minutes.

    Transfer vegetables to a plate. Keep pan over medium heat; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil and flour to hot pan. Stir constantly until golden-brown, 3-4 minutes.

    Stir in tomato puree until combined, 1-2 minutes.

    Add cream base, mirepoix base, and 1 cup water, a little at a time, until thoroughly combined. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Cook Shrimp and Finish Dish

    Place another large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add shrimp to hot pan. Cook until pink and shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping rice with vegetables, sauce, and shrimp. Garnish with green portions of green onions. Bon appétit!
