Truly a one-pot wonder, this dish is homey, comforting, and weeknight-friendly (thanks to the minimal cleanup). Rinse your rice until the water runs clear before adding to keep the grains from going clumpy or gummy in the pot.

This shrimp recipe uses the same red pepper and olive sauce base as the Baked Rigatoni With Red Peppers and Green Olives—if you want to make both dishes, double the sauce before proceeding.
