Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice and 1 1/4 cups water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Set aside and cover to keep warm.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Mince spinach.

    Alternatively, use a food processor to pulse into 1/4" pieces. Don't overload the machine or it won't chop evenly. You may need to work in batches.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

    Mince garlic.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Pat shrimp dry. Season all over with half the chile and cumin rub (reserve remaining for sauce) and 1/4 tsp. salt.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add shrimp to hot pan. Cook until pink and shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Reduce heat to medium. Transfer shrimp to a plate. Keep pan over medium heat; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Cook the Saag Sauce

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, onions, and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until slightly tender and browned, 3-5 minutes.

    Add garlic, ginger (to taste), red pepper flakes (to taste), and remaining chile and cumin rub. Stir often until garlic is fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

    Add spinach, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, add coconut milk and stir occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes. Don't worry if coconut milk has solidified. It is part of natural processes. Break up as needed. If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

  5. 5

    Add Shrimp and Finish Dish

    Add shrimp and lemon juice to hot pan. Stir often until combined and shrimp is coated, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
