Wok eggs, fried rice and hot Dry Noodles.
Jollof is a tomato and rice dish popular throughout West Africa. For our version, we use fragrant basmati rice and flavor it with garlic, curry powder and dried thyme. Shrimp give the dish substance and make it into a light meal. If you prefer, you can use an equal amount of medium (41/50 per pound) shrimp; their smaller size means they can be used whole (no need to cut them in half after shelling and deveining).
Servings
Don’t drain the tomatoes. Their liquid is necessary for properly cooking the rice. But don't forget to pat the shrimp dry before seasoning them with salt and pepper; excess moisture may make the rice soggy.
30 minutes active
tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
large yellow onion, chopped
