- French Beans, chopped, 1/2 cup
- Carrot diced, 1/2 cup
- Basmati Rice 2 cups
- Chicken Broth 2 cups
- Onion 2 large, finely sliced
- Garlic Cloves 4-5 minced
- Green Chilis 2-3 finely chopped

- Chili Flakes 1/2 tsp

METHOD:
Serving Size: 4-5
Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok. Sear shrimp until they turn pink and opaque (2–3 minutes). Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tbsp of oil. Add green chilis, onion, and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant.
Toss in carrots, beans, and mushrooms. Stir-fry until slightly softened. Remove the veggies and keep aside.
Add the remaining oil and butter to the wok. Add uncooked rice and stir for 1–2 minutes so each grain is coated and lightly toasted.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until the rice is nearly cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
When the rice is about 80–90% cooked, stir in shrimp, carrot, and beans. Cover and cook for 4–5 minutes, just until the rice turns fully tender. Let it rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork.
Stir in chili flakes and a splash of chili oil. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve alongside a cucumber-tomato salad, a yogurt-mint dip, and a lemon wedge.
