Рецепт Shrimp Puttanesca Rice Bowl Recipe with Capers & Tomatoes
This classic Italian puttanesca sauce is simmered with shrimp & ladled over rice for an easy, healthy meal.
Whenever my husband’s birthday or Father’s Day rolls around, it’s sure to be a Mexican/southwestern fiesta at our house. For this birthday, that meant Rick Bayless’ Smoky Peanut Mole with Pork Tenderloin. The weekend also involved our favorite breakfast burritos and an apple crisp. To say that I’m all cooked out might be an understatement.
That means we’re turning to a classic Italian dish, one that requires very little chopping and a bit of simmering time. Puttanesca sauce is traditionally served over pasta, which you can certainly do if you prefer. I had leftover brown rice in the fridge, so took the “cheater, cheater, pumpkin-eater” route.
If you’re following a low sodium diet, this probably isn’t doctor-approved. However, if you can afford to make the indulgence once in awhile, the capers, olives and anchovies add a wonderful depth of flavor, along with the garlic and tomatoes.
Add the shrimp into the sauce in the last few minutes of cooking and cook until they are just opaque. Overcooking leads to rubbery shrimp. Not good.
This is definitely making it onto our list of easy weeknight recipes. If you are constantly looking for new healthy weeknight meal ideas (like me!), be sure to check out this group board on Pinterest. It’s full of fantastic ideas from many of my favorite bloggers.
The recipe:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat.
Add the garlic, anchovies and crushed red pepper flakes. Break the anchovies down with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, capers and kalamata olives. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, 10 to 15 minutes.
Add the shrimp and simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, turning partway through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
Divide the brown rice between 4 bowls. Top each portion with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
