Rice must be cooked, cooled completely and refrigerated to stir-fry properly. Hot rice results in a gummy stir-fry. If you have time, prepare the night before you want to make the dish and cool overnight. If you stumble into the recipe and have a time crunch, cook your rice and spread on a baking sheet in a thin later. Cool in the freezer until cold and proceed from there. Leftover rice is also a good option, although it omits the color and flavor of the saffron. This dish is ready in just 40 minutes and boasts in impressive one-pan presentation of brightly colored peppers and tomatoes with richly flavored shrimp nestled in the flavorful rice base. Our stir-fry method cuts the baking time but keeps the delightful elements of the traditional dish.
