Brown rice with lentils and flambéed shrimp


Ready in 20 minutes | for 2 people

Ingredients

Preparation

Start by cooking the Arnaboldi brown rice with lentils and rosemary . Pour 700 ml of cold water into a nonstick saucepan and add the contents of the packet. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 16-18 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.

While the rice is cooking, wash and dry the prawns. Open them along the back with scissors and remove the black thread full of sand.

At this point, heat the oil in a pan and add the shrimp. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and cook them on both sides for a few minutes. Pour in the brandy (or whiskey, if you prefer) and let it heat for a moment. Tilt the pan so that the liquor ignites and let it simmer until it goes out on its own.

Serve the rice on a flat plate using a pastry cutter to give it a nice shape, add the prawns in the center and decorate with dill.

And voilà! Your brown rice with lentils and flabed shrimp is ready.

Recommended wine: "Inzolina DOCG"
It pairs perfectly with various types of molluscs, seafood, crustaceans and most fish-based first courses.
