Ingredients
6 shrimp, frozen or fresh
1/4 cup brown rice (jasmine, basmati good also)
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/4 onion, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Other Ingredients
- 1.5 teaspoons of soy sauce (ideally low sodium)
- Crushed red pepper- to taste
- Black pepper- to taste
Instructions
The Rice
Step 1:
Add 1/2 cup of water to your saucepan and bring to a boil.
Step 2:
Once boiling, add in the 1/4 cup of brown rice, lower heat to a simmer, and cover until cooked (20-30 minutes).
The Vegetables and Shrimp
Step 1:
When your rice is halfway done, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a frying pan and bring to medium heat.
Step 2:
Once warm, add your vegetables and spices into the pan and mix it together to spread around the flavor. Stir occasionally until the vegetables soften.
Step 3:
Once your vegetables soften, which takes a little under 10 minutes, add in your shrimp and stir occasionally for another 5 minutes
Bringing it All Together
When everything is cooked, add your rice to the frying pan with the vegetables and mix them together. Then drizzle in the soy sauce and mix again. Enjoy!
For a little extra crisp, let the rice sit in the pan for a couple extra minutes. Just be careful of excess smoking in the pan.
