Chefs note: don’t use a wide pot such as a Dutch oven to make this recipe we found that a large service area can result in uneven cooking of the grains the narrow diameter of the saucepan is a better than Choice don’t peek at the shrimp after adding them to the rice except while stirring them into the rice after the first 10 minutes keep the lid on traps heat in the pan so the shrimp cooks through
