I was drawn to it for my favorite thing which is, surprise surprise, shrimp! LOL! The secret behind the crazy deliciousness of this firecracker shrimp rice is not in shrimp; it is in its sauce!

Let’s deep dive into it, shall we?

What is Firecracker Shrimp Rice?

You may have assumed from its name that firecracker shrimp rice is a hot & tangy fried rice topped with sweet & salty shrimps!

Well, you are partly right! This firecracker shrimp rice is indeed a hot & tangy fried rice topped with soft & succulent shrimps! But there is more to it!

It won’t be justified if we simply describe this firecracker shrimp rice as another fried rice! Nope, it’s much more than that!

Let’s talk about the secret sauce of this dish and you will know why I'm claiming it to be so special!

The firecracker sauce is an amalgamation of sweet, tangy, spicy and salty ingredients which come together to make a stir-fry sauce which is beyond perfection!

When the rice & shrimps are stir fried in this incredible sauce, they take a makeover which is way too delicious than anything I had ever imagined!

This firecracker shrimp rice truly turned out to be a pleasant surprise for both of us! My better half was just assuming it to be another shrimp fried rice!

But when he saw its gorgeousness he guessed that it might be something different. And then came the final taste test!

Voila! We both loved it so much that we had to recreate it again to share it with all of you guys as this firecracker shrimp rice is just a must-have!

If you are a chicken lover then chances are that you have already tried many versions of chicken and rice, one of which may already be your absolute favorite!

However, I would urge you to try my version of one pot chicken drumsticks and rice which is so minimalistic yet so powerfully flavorful that you can’t help but fall in love with it!

The key flavor of my chicken and rice comes from the aromatics which is why I used a generous amount of it.

The only spice I used was two heaped teaspoons of cumin powder which imparts an earthy tone to the dish complementing the flavors of the aromatics. And it turned out to be a match made in heaven!

Chicken drumsticks are seared in oil to seal in the flavors of the spices into the meat and develop the brown crust on top that makes the drumsticks irresistibly tasty!

Finally the chicken drumsticks and rice are cooked together in the pot leaving you with chicken flavored fluffy rice and juicy chicken legs!
