    From the Test Kitchen

    Here, we're coating plump shrimp with fragrant vadouvan curry, then basting them in the pan with a savory-sweet tomato achaar and honey glaze to imbue the shrimp with deliciously bold, Indian-style flavor. It's perfectly tempered by a bed of zesty rice and a creamy lime yogurt drizzled on top.

    Indian-Style Shrimp & Brown Rice

    Cook the rice
    1 Cook the rice

    Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 1/4 cups of water (or 2 1/2 cups for 4 servings). Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 23 to 25 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

    2 Prepare the ingredients

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 2 teaspoons of zest (or 4 teaspoons for 4 servings). Quarter the lime(s). Roughly chop the cashews. To make the glaze, in a bowl, whisk together the honey, 2 tablespoons of water (or 4 tablespoons for 4 servings), and as much of the tomato achaar as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, the juice of 2 lime wedges (or 4 wedges for 4 servings), and 2 teaspoons of water (or 4 teaspoons for 4 servings); season with salt and pepper.

    Prepare the ingredients
    Cook the green beans
    3 Cook the green beans

    In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings) heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the green beans in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Carefully add 2 tablespoons of water (or 4 tablespoons for 4 servings); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the green beans are softened and the water has cooked off. Add the mustard seeds. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

    4 Cook & glaze the chicken

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt, pepper and enough of the curry powder to coat (you may have extra). In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Add the glaze (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the chicken is coated and cooked through. Turn off the heat.

    Add the lime zest to the pot of cooked rice; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Serve the glazed shrimp (including any glaze from the pan) with the finished rice and cooked green beans. Top the shrimp with the lime yogurt. Garnish with the chopped cashews. Serve the remaining lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
