If using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator or a bowl of cold water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong> Regular yellow or white onions work for this recipe, but you can use red onions for more color. Here&#8217;s how to finely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-chop-an-onion\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-chop-an-onion\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chop onions<\/a> like a pro.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bell pepper:<\/strong> The recipe calls for diced green pepper, which adds contrasting color to the orange-pink shrimp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hot sauce:<\/strong> The dish&#8217;s spiciness comes from a couple of tablespoons of Louisiana-style <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-hot-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-hot-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hot sauce<\/a> added to the simmering liquid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> For the best flavor, skip jarred garlic and use fresh cloves.

Some types, like jasmine rice, cook up quickly while you make the shrimp and sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> Because this recipe has so much flavor, you only need a dash of onion salt and black pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the sauce<\/h3>\n<p>In a large skillet, saute the onion and green pepper in oil until they&#8217;re tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute longer. Stir in the tomato sauce, broth, pimientos, hot sauce, onion salt and pepper. Bring the sauce to a boil.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Cook the shrimp<\/h3>\n<p>Reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the shrimp and cook for five to seven minutes or until the shrimp turn pink. Serve with rice.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Properly cooked shrimp should curl into a C shape and turn pink.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2134300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Spicy-Shrimp-with-Rice_FT25_35518_JR_0328_2.jpg\" alt=\"overhead shot of two white bowls of Spicy Shrimp with Rice; in the foreground, two silver spoons lay on a beige checkered napkin, in the background, a third bowl of rice is visible\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Josh Rink for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Spicy Shrimp with Rice Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use Cajun seasoning:<\/strong> For an extra spicy version, omit the onion salt and pepper and use a Cajun seasoning blend instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve with pasta:<\/strong> Orzo, farfalle, anelli and spaghetti are just some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pasta shapes<\/a> you can try with spicy shrimp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try it with fried rice:<\/strong> Make a batch of flavorful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-fried-rice\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-fried-rice\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fried rice<\/a> to serve with the spicy shrimp and sauce. Either omit the chicken from the fried rice, or leave it in for an extra hearty meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Spicy Shrimp with Rice<\/h2>\n<p>To store leftover spicy shrimp and rice, first allow the shrimp and sauce to cool. Transfer them to a tightly covered food storage container and refrigerate them for up to four days. Store the rice separately, as it has a shorter shelf life.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat spicy shrimp with rice?<\/h3>\n<p>Because shrimp can easily become tough and chewy when overcooked, it&#8217;s best to reheat spicy shrimp in two stages. First, heat the sauce in a skillet or saucepan set over medium heat. Once the sauce is hot, add the shrimp. Stir and cook the shrimp for just a few minutes until they&#8217;re warmed through. The rice can be reheated in its own pan on the stovetop or quickly reheated in the microwave in a loosely covered dish.<\/p>\n<h2>Spicy Shrimp with Rice Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2134301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Spicy-Shrimp-with-Rice_FT25_35518_JR_0328_3.jpg\" alt=\"3\/4th shot of a white bowl of Spicy Shrimp with Rice; a silver spoons lay on the dish;\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Josh Rink for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to clean and devein shrimp?<\/h3>\n<p>While buying cleaned shrimp is convenient, shrimp are more flavorful and tender when cleaned just before cooking.
