About Arroz de Camarones
Arroz con camarones is a popular rice dish from Colombia's Atlantic region. Erica Dinho's version cooks long-grain rice in stock enriched with the shrimp shells, then finishes it with the shrimp and vegetables.
Tomato, onion, garlic, scallion and green and red peppers form a savoury base. Cumin, paprika, tomato paste and fish bouillon deepen the seafood flavour, while butter and olive oil add richness.
The finished dish is colourful and substantial, with tender rice, juicy shrimp and small pieces of carrot, green bean and pea throughout. Fresh parsley gives the warm rice a clean herbal finish.
