Here is how you make Skillet Shrimp and Rice:

Serves 61. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place bacon in a large oven proof skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.2. Discard all but 1 Tbsp fat from pan. Add onion, garlic and bell pepper to pan and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, broth, Old bay seasoning and salt; bring mixture to a boil.3. Cover and transfer pan to oven. Cook until rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover, lay shrimp on rice, re-cover, and continue to bake until shrimp are opaque, another 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle with bacon and serve.TIP: I buy the frozen peeled shrimp already cooked and just add them to the pot while it is cooking in the oven. This way, as the rice cooks, the shrimp are getting heated through as well.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHERIJ30.
