(Arroz con Camarónes y Elote)
Category: Rice Dishes
Rice dishes called sopas secas, (dry soups) are usually substantial dishes made with rice and other ingredients such as seafood, meat, or vegetables, and commonly served as a separate course, but you can also serve it as a side dish. This rice dish is adequate for a light meal accompanied by a salad. You can also start the meal with Black Bean Soup (see Soups).


   2 plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped
   2 cloves garlic (medium), chopped
   2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
   1 serrano chile, minced with seeds
   1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
   1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
   1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
   1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
   1 cup canned chicken broth
   1 cup water
   2 tablespoons olive oil
   1 cup long-grain white rice
   1/2 medium white onion, finely chopped
   1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
   1/3 pound (8 to 11) small cooked peeled shrimp


1. In a blender, purée until smooth the tomato, garlic, cilantro, serrano chile, oregano, cumin, salt, crushed pepper, broth, and water. Reserve in the blender jar.

2. In a 2 1/2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the rice and onion and cook, stirring, until they begin to color, about 4 minutes. Pour the reserved tomato and broth mixture into the pan all at once. Stir to level the rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook the corn and boiling water to cover, 1 to 2 minutes, until tender. Drain. When the rice is done turn off the heat. Let rice stand 5 minutes. Fluff it with a fork, then gently stir in the shrimp and corn. Cover and let stand 8 to 10 minutes. Serve hot.
