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) |

  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut red bell pepper into 1/2" strips.

    Remove husks from tomatillos, rinse, and cut into 1/2" dice. Rinsing tomatillos again removes sticky residue.

    Halve and peel onion. Slice halves into thin strips.

    Stem jalapeño, halve, seed, remove ribs, and mince. Wash hands and cutting board after working with jalapeño.

    Pat shrimp dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Mince garlic.

    Mince cilantro, leaves and stems.

    Bring a small pot with jasmine rice, garlic, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil.

    Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 18-20 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside. Stir in cilantro.

    While rice cooks, prepare ingredients.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Place a small pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add jalapeño (to taste), tomatillo, and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

    Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half, 3-5 minutes.

    Mash lightly until the consistency is similar to chunky salsa. Remove from burner and stir in sour cream and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables and Shrimp

    Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add red bell pepper, onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender and lightly charred, 5-8 minutes.

    Add shrimp and seasoning rub. Stir occasionally until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes.
