I really love carbs and have been finding ways to incorporate them, in moderation, on WW. I found this recipe and thought it sounded good. I've never had basmati rice before but it turned out very tasty! We put some sauteed shrimp and scallops over top it and made a meal.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp margarine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp shallots, minced
3/4 c basmati rice, uncooked
1-1/2 c water
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp olive oil
Dry scallops
Shrimp, peeled and deveined
Old Bay Seasoning
Directions for the Rice:
Melt 1 tbsp margarine in a sauce pan over medium high heat
Add garlic & shallots and saute for about a minute
Add in rice & stir well
Add in water and bring to a boil
Cover & lower heat to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed
Top with grated cheese
Directions for Scallops and Shrimp:
Melt 1 tbsp margarine in a pan. Add olive oil. Place shrimp in pan & cook for a couple minutes per side. Dust each side, while cooking, with a little Old Bay.
Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.
Place pan over heat and get very hot. While pan is getting hot, salt & pepper each side of the scallops. Add scallops to pan and cook each side approx 2-3 minutes per side.
Combine shrimp, scallops and rice and serve.
