Notes

Shrimp must be frozen. If not, they will over cook. If you want to use fresh or thawed shrimp, add them after removing the lid and stir into hot rice to cook.

Make sure your rinse your rice until the water comes clean. This will help to remove excess starch so that the pot does not produce a burn notice.
