Shrimp and Rice Packets with Olives and Oranges Recipe

Shrimp and Rice Packets with Olives and Oranges Recipe

  • 2 cups frozen precooked rice (such as InnovAsian®)
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pitted green olives
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 thin slices orange
  • 2 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut four 12×15-inch sheets of parchment paper. Fold each in half widthwise and reopen.
  2. Mix rice, olives, chicken broth, orange juice, orange zest, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  3. Spoon 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.
  4. Fold empty half of parchment over shrimp filling and crimp edges together with overlapping folds to seal. Arrange packets close together on a sheet pan.
  5. Roast 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.
  6. Open packets carefully, being careful to avoid steam. Slide shrimp and rice mixture into bowls. Garnish with almonds and parsley.
