With an appliance

  • Oven 58 min

    Replace step 5: cover the rice cooker and place it on the bottom rack of the oven at 190 degrees for 7 minutes; this is only about 1 minute faster, but the shrimp cook evenly on the surface, there's no need to open the lid to check, and the rice grains are less likely to burn.
