Stir over the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then add enough water to cover the rice. 5. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, or until rice is just tender, but still has a little bite to it. 6. Add the shrimp, currants and a little salt and pepper to taste. 7. Cook for about 4 minutes more, until the shrimp are heated through, then add the lemon juice and chopped parsley. 8. Serve pilaf warm or cold with salad greens. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
