METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

  2. Combine 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Hellmann's® Real Mayonnaise, lime juice, 1/2 Tbsp. (7 mL) olive oil and red chili sauce in medium bowl; stir in shrimp. Cover and marinate 20 minutes.

  3. Remove shrimp from marinade, discarding marinade.Wrap shrimp in heavy-duty aluminum foil and bake 10 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Set aside.

  4. Heat remaining 1/2 Tbsp. (7 mL) olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook shallots and garlic, stirring occasionally, until shallots are tender. Stir in rice until coated.

  5. Add wine and Knorr® Chicken Bouillon Cube and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up Bouillon Cube, until wine is absorbed. Slowly add water, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time, stirring occasionally, until almost all liquid is absorbed and rice is creamy and tender, about 25 minutes. Stir in Mexican crema, remaining 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Hellmann's® Real Mayonnaise, cheese and pepper. Stir in shrimp. Garnish, if desired, with chopped chives and additional grated Parmesan cheese.
