From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is another skillet supper that I hope will make the transition from summer to fall meals a bit easier for you. The dish was inspired by a recipe I found in the Hunt's Signature Recipe Collection, that you can view here. I've made some changes to their version and those changes are reflected in the recipe that appears below. In order to cut the preparation time for this dish, I use two skillets and simultaneously cook the rice and shrimp, rather than staging their preparation in one shared skillet. I've also replaced the liquid in the Hunt's recipe with a Bloody Mary mix that adds wonderful flavor without the addition of myriad herbs or spices. If you decide to use my version of the recipe, it is important to keep an eye on the rice and add water or stock if it begins to dry before it is fully cooked. I think those of you who try this recipe will be generally pleased with the results. It lacks the finesse that most of us prefer for a company dinner but it makes a great family supper when served with a crisp salad and a good peasant bread. The dish is easy to make and it can be on the table in about 30 minutes. Here is how it's made.
