A steaming Smoky Chipotle Prawn Rice Skillet garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Smoky Chipotle Prawn Rice Skillet

A vibrant, one-pan meal featuring succulent prawns and fluffy rice infused with the deep, smoky heat of chipotle peppers and citrusy lime.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

500g large prawns, peeled and deveined
1.5 cups jasmine rice
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime, juiced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Season the prawns with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the prawns for 2 minutes per side until pink, then remove and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and sauté the onion and bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Add the garlic and chipotle peppers, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the jasmine rice to the skillet and stir for 2 minutes to toast the grains.
Step 5: Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
Step 6: Fluff the rice with a fork, stir in the lime juice, cilantro, and the cooked prawns. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure you use a heavy-bottomed skillet to prevent the rice from burning on the bottom.
