Cuisine: Seafood
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by thoroughly washing the shrimp, dicing the ham into small cubes, and slicing the mushrooms uniformly.
- Cook rice according to package instructions, ensuring it is fluffy and fully cooked. Set aside and keep warm.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat until it starts to foam and become slightly golden.
- Add diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to develop a light golden color and releases its savory flavors.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms become tender and release their moisture.
- Season the ham and mushroom mixture with salt and pepper, stirring to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Add peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and become opaque.
- Drizzle soy sauce over the shrimp, ham, and mushroom mixture, stirring to coat all ingredients with the savory sauce.
- Remove skillet from heat and let the ingredients rest for 1-2 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve the shrimp, ham, and mushroom mixture hot over the prepared rice, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or green onions if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a clean, ocean-like smell.
- Pat your shrimp dry before cooking to ensure they sear beautifully and don't become watery.
- Use medium-high heat when sautéing to achieve a nice golden color on your ham and mushrooms without burning.
- Don't overcook the shrimp! They only need 2-3 minutes per side to turn pink and become perfectly tender.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to elevate the dish.
- If you want a lighter version, you can substitute butter with olive oil and use low-sodium soy sauce.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal temperature and texture of each ingredient.
