For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference and what you have on hand. Using a high-quality long-grain rice will ensure a fluffy and separate texture. Make sure the shrimp is cooked before adding it to the sauce, as it will only be heated through during the simmering and baking process. For a richer flavor, consider using seafood stock instead of water to cook the rice.
