Dragon Fruit Shrimp & Forbidden Rice
Savor the unique blend of sweet dragon fruit and savory shrimp served with nutty forbidden rice in this exotic dish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dragon fruit cubed
- 16 oz shrimp peeled
- 1 cup orange juice
- ½ cup hot honey
- 1 lime juice
- 1 cup forbidden rice cooked according to package
Instructions
- Whisk together the orange juice, hot honey, and lime juice. Add the raw, peeled shrimp to the marinade and let soak for at least one hour.
- While the shrimp is marinating, wash the rice until the water runs clear. Add the rice and water to a pan, cover, and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to low and leave covered for twenty minutes.
- Cut the dragon fruit in half. Make horizontal and vertical slices into the flesh of the fruit, then use a spoon to scoop out the cubes. Reserve half (about 1 cup) to use in the recipe and save the other half to enjoy on its own.
- Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the shrimp and all of the marinade. Cook the shrimp until pink and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes, flipping occasionally.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and bring the remaining marinade to a boil. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer for about ten minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Stir the shrimp and sauce into the cooked rice. Fold in the dragon fruit. Serve warm right away or chill to enjoy cold.
