This grilled shrimp and rice is topped with delectable browned butter…It’s quick to make and even quicker to disappear.

Grilled Shrimp with Rice on plate

Browned butter smells so good when it’s cooking and tastes even better.

As if grilling large, seasoned shrimp on the barbecue isn’t already delicious…

…when drizzling browned butter over the grilled shrimp, the taste is nothing short of amazing.

Browned butter is also added to the cooked rice which is made in a rice cooker along with thinly sliced mushrooms.

The browned butter adds a subtle nutty and toasted flavor to the grilled shrimp and complements not only the shrimp, but the rice and mushrooms too.

Basmati rice is used in this dish but feel free to change that up to your favorite rice.

I added mushrooms to the rice, but you may prefer to add some fresh vegetables instead or just make plain rice.
