Stupid question, but should that be instant rice or long grain?

WOW, excellent rice dish & so easy! My husband isn't a fan of most rice, but this one was even a hit with him! We served it with the Carmelized Chile Shrimp--what an amazing meal! We definitely will have this often. I did find the recipe instructions to be a little off. It leaves out a lot in the description of items in the recipe item list. So, all your spices, chix broth, water, oil, lime, & rice get mixed together in pan then boiled--the onions, cilantro & lime wait till the end.
