This is also from Paula Deene's eary years. It is amazing. I adapted this dish to my own taste. So if you come across Paula's original recipe it will be alittle different. My Husband and I both loved it. You can eat it warm or cold. I prefer cold so not to re-heat the shrimp. (They would then be over cooked)
The secret to this recipe is cooking the rice in the same water that you use to cook the shrimp. What a difference. It gives the rice a real depth of flavor.
Recipe Follows:
3 cups water
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
Bring to a boil add medium shrimp or your personal preference
Cook about 4 minutes
DO NOT OVER COOK!!!
Remove shrimp and add 1 1/2 cups long grain rice
Simmer covered for 17 minutes
Remove add to shrimp
Add 3/4 cup mayo (Or to taste)
Add 3/4 chopped green olives
Add 1 small onion minced
Combine add salt and pepper to taste
Serve with a nice cracker
This gets even tastier the next day!!
Enjoy!!!
