Arroz con camarones or shrimp rice is a classic Central and South American dish from the coastal areas consisting of rice cooked in a shrimp broth and mixed with shrimp, sautéed onions, cumin, curry and parsley. Read more Honduran's, and South Americans, love arroz or rice, we can’t live without it and eat rice almost every day, therefore we have a plethora of rice based dishes, anything you can think of and there is a rice based dish for it, especially if it concerns any type of seafood. The shrimp are marinated with cumin and then cooked with the shells on in order to preserve the greatest amount of flavor, this is one of those bits of cooking wisdom that is passed on from generation to generation: always boil/cook shrimp with the shells on. The rice is then cooked in the broth or water in which the shrimp were cooked, and then mixed with onions, pepper, curry, parsley, achiote and cumin. I served the shrimp rice with avocado slices, tomato and onion curtido, lime slices. See less
