Preparation
Cook the rice
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 3 cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, medium-dice the cucumbers.
- Halve the tomatoes.
- Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
- Roughly chop the olives.
Make the salad
- In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, olives, white bottoms of the scallions, vinegar, 6 tbsp olive oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
Cook the shrimp
- Pat the shrimp dry (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium.
- Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
- Add ½ the green tops of the scallions; stir well.
Finish & serve
- To the pot of rice, add the remaining green tops of the scallions, a drizzle of olive oil and S&P; stir well.
- Divide the rice between your bowls.
- Top with the shrimp and salad.
- Garnish with the tzatziki. Bon appétit!
