Where to find ingredients
Find fresh shrimp and herbs at local fresh produce markets or the fish counter at supermarkets. Hearts of palm are available in the canned goods aisle. If fresh stock is unavailable, high-quality vegetable or fish bouillon may be used as a substitute.

- Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
- Stir in the shrimp and cook until pink and firm, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the rice and toast for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add a ladle of hot stock or water and cook, stirring continuously until the liquid is almost absorbed.
- Repeat the process, adding stock gradually, until the rice is al dente and creamy.
- During the last few minutes, stir in the tomato, heart of palm, peas, and the reserved shrimp.
- Mix well, season with salt and pepper to taste, and finish with chopped parsley.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
