Shrimp and Rice Packets with Olives and Oranges Recipe

Recipe by: Molly Gilbert

"Shrimp, olive, and orange flavors mingle within individualized roasting packets that make serving a breeze."

Directions

1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut four 12x15-inch sheets of parchment paper. Fold each in half widthwise and reopen.
2Mix rice, olives, chicken broth, orange juice, orange zest, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
3Spoon 3/4 cup of the rice mixture onto 1 side of each parchment rectangle, near the crease. Pile shrimp evenly over rice mixture. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over each pile of shrimp; lay 1 orange slice on top.
4Fold empty half of parchment over shrimp filling and crimp edges together with overlapping folds to seal. Arrange packets close together on a sheet pan.
5Roast on the center rack of the preheated oven until shrimp are tender and opaque, 15 to 17 minutes. Unfold 1 edge of the parchment, being careful to avoid steam, and look inside to check doneness.
6Open packets carefully, being careful to avoid steam. Slide shrimp and rice mixture into bowls. Garnish with almonds and parsley.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
Starting with frozen rice ensures that everything in the packets gets done at the same time. You could make and freeze your own rice.
Substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth if desired.
