Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs shrimp
• 1.5 cups basmati rice
• 3 cups water
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp turmeric
• 2 red bell peppers
• 0.25 cup fresh basil
• 0.25 cup parsley
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
• 1 lemon

Instructions

1. 1Combine shrimp with 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, garlic-infused oil, paprika, cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add half of the chopped basil, parsley, and rosemary. Marinate for 15-20 minutes, then thread onto skewers.
2. 2In a saucepan, combine basmati rice, water, 1 tbsp olive oil, turmeric, and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
3. 3Toss red bell pepper quarters with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
4. 4Grill shrimp skewers over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
5. 5Serve grilled shrimp and roasted red peppers over the turmeric-infused rice. Garnish with remaining fresh basil, parsley, rosemary, and lemon wedges.
