Shrimp Doria (Japanese Rice Gratin) 🍤
Doria (ドリア) is a Japanese style Western dish. These types of dishes are called “Yoshoku” and are served in Western-style restaurants in Japan. A doria is a type of gratin. Unlike a casserole, where everything is mixed together, a gratin has layers (usually rice, sauce, and cheese).
In this gratin, the creamy béchamel sauce pairs really nicely with shrimp. The ingredients are fairly simple, but the doria has a rich and delicious flavor!
This is the first doria I’ve ever made, and after tasting it, it is definitely something I’ll be making regularly! 😋
