Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add garlic salt, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot.
- Finely chop cilantro.
- Zest, then juice lime.
- Halve tomatoes.
- In a small bowl, add sour cream, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime zest. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. (NOTE: This is your lime crema.)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then half the corn (use all for 4 servings). Cook for 2 min, stirring occasionally, until corn starts to brown.
- Add shallots. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat, then transfer veggies to a plate.
- To a medium bowl, add remaining lime juice, remaining lime zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- To the dressing, add tomatoes, corn and shallots, then toss to combine.
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then shrimp. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink.**
- Add Tex-Mex paste and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant and shrimp are coated.
- Remove from heat.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the cilantro.
