shrimp porridge is a delicious and nutritious dish that’s perfect for breakfast or any time of the day when you’re craving something warm and comforting. 🥣 First, start by soaking about 1 cup of rice in water for around 30 minutes. This helps to soften the rice and make it easier to cook into a smooth porridge.

While the rice is soaking, prepare your shrimp. You can use fresh or frozen shrimp, depending on what you have available. Peel and devein the shrimp, then rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Season the shrimp with a bit of salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor. 🦐

Next, bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Drain the soaked rice and add it to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer gently for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. The goal is to achieve a creamy consistency.

Once the rice is cooked, add the seasoned shrimp to the pot. Let everything simmer together for another 10-15 minutes until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked. For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped green onions and a dash of soy sauce over the top before serving. 🍚✨ Enjoy your homemade shrimp porridge!
