For a richer flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water to cook the brown rice. Dry sherry or vermouth can be substituted for white wine. If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used, but use half the amount. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as it can become rubbery. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch of heat. This dish pairs well with a side of steamed asparagus or a simple green salad.
