An easy dinner recipe which has simple ingredients and a good family treat. Simply put shrimp, peas, rice and a teriyaki sauce into your rice cooker, press the button and wait for the yummy food to be ready.

Notes
You could use any protein with this recipe but shrimp works best. You can use peeled or shell-on shrimp, but make sure it is raw. Deveining can be tedious, so purchase shrimp that are already deveined. Shell-on shrimp peel quicker when thawed.
If you wash shrimp under water the flavour goes down the drain
I live in the Uk A cup is what you drink from so how about grams or ounces
Hi Graeme, the instructions for washing shrimp are for if you are using frozen shrimp only. It also doesn’t matter if you live in the UK as this recipe is formulated to be made in a rice cooker as a one pot dish. The cups of rice stated in the recipe are rice measuring cups. These rice measuring cups are provided with every rice cooker because rice cookers only work with volume measurements and not weight measurements. The cup size for all rice cooker measuring cups is 180ml.
I wanted to do this but with shelled mussels, do I need to pay attention to the mussels? I mean I know that an excessive cooking will ruin the mussels since in the “normal” pan I usually cook in 2/3 minutes.
Should I add the mussels later or stick with the shrimps?
Hi, you can try the recipe with mussels but you’d have to adapt it. We would advise that you cook the recipe as it is (without the shrimp) and once you have completed step 6 with stirring in the sauce to the rice, add the mussels at this point, close the lid and allow the mussels to steam. As the cooking cycle has just finished, the temperature should be high enough to cook the mussels quite quickly. Let us know how you get on!
