can i steam shrimp in my rice cooker

by

Rice cookers are a convenient and inexpensive way to cook food for those confined to small spaces or without access to conventional kitchens, so I’m going to develop a few recipes specifically for rice cookers, starting with this super easy Teriyaki Shrimp and Rice. This ultra simple dish is similar to shrimp fried rice that you’d get from your local take out joint, except it’s steamed not fried, and therefore way less caloric. The ultra short ingredient list means you don’t have to have a lot of ingredients on hand, and most of them can be kept indefinitely either in your pantry or freezer.

Place a piece of cheesecloth in steamer basket (or spray with cooking spray). Place shrimp in basket in single layer, and top with rest of lemon and bay leaf. About 15 minutes into the cycle, place shrimp steamer basket in rice cooker. Steam shrimp until pink (but don’t overcook or they will be tough).

What Rice Cooker am I Using?

While raw shrimp or shrimp sashimi can be consumed safely, raw shrimp is considered a high-risk food because it can harbour harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and various Vibrio bacteria.

The acid from the citrus can reduce harmful bacteria but it is not as effective as using heat. The safest approach would be to consume only cooked shrimp from a reliable source.
