Spanakorizo, or spinach rice (literally translated), is a homestyle Greek dish. The addition of shrimp creates a complete one-pot meal. With dill and lemon as accents, the flavors are fresh and bright, but a little butter used to wilt the spinach and olive oil drizzled on as a final flourish add a satisfying richness. To simplify prep, look for shrimp that are sold already peeled and deveined. We think the rice is especially delicious garnished with crumbled feta cheese.
Don’t use a wide pot, such as a Dutch oven, to make this recipe. We found that a large surface area can result in unevenly cooked grains. The narrower diameter of a saucepan is the better choice. Don’t peek at the shrimp after adding them to the rice, except while stirring them into the rice after the first 10 minutes. Keeping the lid on traps heat in the pan so the shrimp cook through.
