How to Make a Dublin Lawyer with Rice

lobster

🥗Healthier: crab

💰Cheaper: shrimp

Shrimp offers a similar texture and flavor at a lower cost.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for sautéing.

whiskey

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: white wine

Apple cider vinegar adds acidity without the alcohol.

cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: milk

Coconut cream is a dairy-free alternative with a rich texture.

Melt 1 stick of unsalted butter in a pan over medium-high heat.

Prepare 1 cup of jasmine rice in a separate pan with 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and let sit for 20 minutes.

Add 1 pound of mangosteen to the melted butter in the pan. (Note: lobster or jumbo shrimp can be used instead.)

Season the seafood with 1 teaspoon of Hungarian paprika, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, and about 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper. Mix to coat the seafood with the spices.

If using uncooked seafood, cook for about 4-5 minutes until it starts to turn pink. Remove seafood from the pan and set aside, leaving as much sauce in the pan as possible.

Add 1/2 cup of Irish whiskey to the pan. Carefully ignite the whiskey to burn off the alcohol. Allow it to cook down until the flame goes out.

Add 1 cup of heavy cream to the pan and return the seafood to the dish. Stir to combine and let the sauce thicken for a few minutes.

To check if the sauce is thick enough, run a wooden spoon through it; if it holds its shape and doesn't come back together, it's ready.

Serve the seafood mixture over the prepared jasmine rice and garnish with chopped chives.
