Preparation and Cooking
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a rectangular white ceramic baking dish. Spread the cooked white long-grain rice evenly across the bottom, pressing gently to form a thick foundation.
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt half the butter. Sauté the minced garlic for 60-90 seconds until fragrant. Whisk in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes, then whisk in the remaining butter until emulsified into a glossy sauce. Pour two-thirds of this sauce evenly over the rice.
- Wipe the skillet and heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Pat the shrimp dry and season with Kosher salt. Sear in a single layer for 1 minute until golden edges form. Flip and sear for 30 seconds until they curl into C-shapes. Remove from heat immediately.
- Arrange the seared shrimp in an even layer over the soaked rice in the ceramic dish. Drizzle the remaining one-third of the garlic butter sauce over the shrimp.
- Bake uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges bubble and the shrimp are fully opaque. Remove from the oven, uniformly speckle with chopped fresh parsley, and lightly dust with coarse black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes
Ensure your shrimp are completely dry before searing to achieve a golden crust.
Using day-old cooked rice prevents the dish from becoming mushy.
