Servings: persons

1 pound shrimp, either frozen or fresh
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1 cup canned or fresh chopped tomatoes
4 cups water mixed with 2 chicken or vegetable bouillon cubes

1
If you are using frozen shrimp, set them out on the counter while you prepare the other ingredients.
2
If you are using fresh shrimp, run them under cold water while you use your fingers to peel off the shells.
3
Use the tip of a small sharp knife to score the back and front, pull out the thick white vein and the thin black one, and refrigerate.
4
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the onion and green pepper.
5
Saute over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes, or until the onion is slightly browned.
6
Stir in the garlic.
7
Add the rice, tomatoes, liquid, and chili powder.
8
Mix to combine, and when the liquid starts to boil, lower the heat to a simmer.
9
Cover and cook for 40 minutes.
10
If you dont have a lid large enough for the pan, use heavy-duty foil and tuck it securely around the edges.
11
While the rice is cooking, cut the broccoli into 1-inch pieces.
12
At the end of 40 minutes, add the shrimp and the broccoli to the rice.
13
Stir just to mix.
14
Cover and cook an additional 6 to 7 minutes, or until the shrimp are bright pink and the broccoli is just tender.
