Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or a busy parent just trying to get a delicious dinner on the table before soccer practice, there is one pantry staple that never lets us down—Mahatma Rice.

If you’ve walked down the rice aisle at Publix lately, you know that Mahatma offers so much more than just your standard white rice. From aromatic Jasmine and nutty Basmati to fiber-rich brown rice and vibrant, seasoned yellow rice, their varieties are the secret to keeping your weekly meal plan fresh and exciting.

But, what I love most about Mahatma is the sheer versatility. With so many options, you can completely transform the vibe of your meal with ease!

  • Extra Long Enriched White Rice: The “do-it-all” rice. It’s fluffy, separate, and the perfect base for everything from stuffed peppers to classic chicken and rice.
  • Thai Jasmine Rice: This is my go-to for anything with a bit of spice. Its slightly sweet aroma and soft texture pair beautifully with curries and stir-frys.
  • Basmati Rice: Traditionally used in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, this long, slender grain stays firm and never gets sticky—perfect for a fancy pilaf or a hearty biryani.
  • Organic Brown Rice: For those nights when you want to add some 100% whole grains and a rich, chewy texture to your plate.
  • Organic White Rice: The perfect product for when you want that classic, fluffy white rice texture but prioritize USDA-certified organic ingredients for your family’s favorite bowls and side dishes.
  • Seasoned Yellow Rice: A vibrant, flavor-packed shortcut that brings authentic Spanish-style flair to the table. It’s the ultimate side for black beans, grilled seafood, or a quick weeknight paella.

In addition to the incredible varieties, there are also different size options for all your needs. Whether you are grabbing a smaller 1-pound bag for a quick side dish or stocking up with huge 20-pound packages for the whole month, Mahatma makes it easy to keep your pantry ready for anything.

Great news! Now is the perfect time to clear some shelf space in your pantry. The 3-pound bags of Mahatma Rice are currently on sale at Publix! Having a larger bag on hand means you’re always just 20 minutes away from a complete meal. Look for savings valid now through 2/27.

Salsa Verde Shrimp & Rice

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings: 4
Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small poblano pepper, deseeded and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Mahatma Extra Long Grain White Rice or Thai Jasmine Rice
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • juice of one lime
  • Fresh cilantro
  • lime wedges, and sliced avocado for topping

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and sauté the diced onion and poblano pepper over medium heat until softened.
  2. Add in the garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the Mahatma Rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted—this helps keep the grains separate and adds a nutty flavor!
  4. Pour in the salsa verde, chicken broth, salt and cumin. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  5. Once the rice has absorbed most of the liquid but is still slightly moist, nestle the shrimp on top of the rice.
  6. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the rice is tender.
  7. Fluff with a fork, stir in the fresh lime juice, and garnish with cilantro. Top with avocado if desired.
