About Shrimp with yellow rice

Shrimp with yellow rice is a flavorful dish popular in Latin and Caribbean cuisines, enjoyed for its vibrant color and savory taste. The yellow hue comes from spices like turmeric or saffron, blended with long-grain rice and tender shrimp. Typically prepared with garlic, onion, bell peppers, and a touch of olive oil, this dish balances protein from the shrimp with energy-rich carbohydrates from the rice. Shrimp is a lean source of protein and provides necessary nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. Turmeric is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties. However, depending on preparation, sodium levels may be high due to added seasoning or stock. Pairing the dish with fresh vegetables can enhance its nutritional value, making Shrimp with Yellow Rice a satisfying option for a wholesome, well-rounded meal.
