This recipe is a bright meal with lots of acid, fluffy rice, and juicy shrimp—and it only uses one pan. “This could easily become one of my go-to weeknight dinners to make,” says recipe tester . “The flavors are clean and simple.”

This dish is simple, so the quality of each ingredient matters. Clean, fresh shrimp—the freshest you can buy—will bring the best flavor.

While shrimp normally cooks in about 2 or 3 minutes, the shrimp is layered over rice and not in direct contact with the bottom of the pan. It will cook a little slower (only about 5 or 6 minutes), but the shrimp will come out all juicy and tender when the rice is done.

before you cook it removes excess starches, and using ingredients like fresh Parmesan cheese and basil leaves will help give the recipe a true taste. For extra ingredients or substitutions, add peas for a pop of color and a serving of vegetables, and serve shrimp and rice with items like garlic bread knots, and lemon Caesar salad.

“In the summer, this would be delicious with some chopped fresh tomatoes stirred in at the last minute,” says recipe tester . For another fun way to change up the dish, try a Thai-inspired twist and add cayenne, lemon grass, turmeric, and coconut milk instead of cheese.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant and onions are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in wine, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

Stir in chicken stock, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium, and stir in rice. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer, undisturbed, until rice is just cooked through, 9 to 10 minutes. Add shrimp to rice in an even layer; drizzle with lemon juice, and dot with remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Cover and continue to cook over medium until shrimp and rice are cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
