    In this dish, plump shrimp boast a lightly spiced and vibrant flavor thanks to a medley of tomato achaar, soy glaze, sautéed aromatics, and vadouvan curry powder. It's served over a bed of fluffy white rice studded with sugar snap peas and mushrooms for a crisp and earthy contrast.

    Indian-Style Shrimp with Vegetable Rice & Sesame Seeds
    Title
    • 18 oz Boneless Chicken Breast Pieces
    • ¼ cup Tomato Achaar
    • 1 cup Long Grain White Rice
    • 2 tsps Vadouvan Curry Powder
    • 3 Tbsps Soy Glaze

    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 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Pull off and discard the tough string that runs the length of each snap pea pod; halve crosswise. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, half the sautéed aromatics, and as much of the tomato achaar as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

    3 Cook the vegetables

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced mushrooms in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the halved peas and remaining sautéed aromatics (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl; season with salt, pepper, and the curry powder. Stir to coat. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot.

Add the glaze (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the chicken is coated and cooked through. Turn off the heat.
