Keeping shrimp and peas in the freezer, and fresh herbed soft cheese in the fridge means you can whip up this easy weeknight dinner at a moment's notice. Serve topped with chopped fresh parsley or basil for a little burst of green, if you like.

Ingredients
Method
In small saucepan, bring broth and 1-1/2 cups water to boil; reduce heat to low and keep warm.Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium-high heat; cook shrimp, stirring, until pink, about 2 minutes. Remove to plate.
Add 2 tsp olive oil to pan. Add rice, stirring to coat and toast grains, about 1 minute.
Add broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time and stirring after each addition until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more, about 20 minutes in total. (Rice should be loose and creamy but not mushy, and still slightly firm in centre.)
Stir in peas, cheese and pinch of pepper. Stir in shrimp and up to 1/4 cup more water, if needed; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
