Shrimp, rice and veggies

1/3/16

This is my version of shrimp fried rice. It is a quick, tasty meal that only takes about thirty minutes from start to finish. These are all items that I usually have on hand! Pretty much works with just about any vegetables.

1 package frozen shrimp, medium (usually about 45 to package)
2 ribs of celery
6 baby carrots
1/2 onion
1/2 cup of broccoli (tops only, no stems)
green beans (I used fresh that were parboiled for a few minutes)
1/4 cup slivered almonds
couple pieces of garlic, diced or grated
1-2 cups cooked rice (I used quick cook rice)
olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
soy sauce

In large pan, cook shrimp according to package directions then drain excess water out of pan and set aside

Cook rice according to package directions, leave covered and set aside

In mini chopper, dice celery, carrots and onions

In  medium pan, heat olive oil on medium high heat
Add veggies from chopper and lightly saute for just a few minutes
Add broccoli, garlic, salt and pepper and cook for another few minutes. I like veggies to still have some crunch left to them but cook to your own taste!

Over medium heat, using large pan with shrimp, add in sauteed veggies, green beans, rice, almonds and soy sauce to taste. I start with a couple of tablespoons and then add a bit more at a time. Be sure to toss mixture thoroughly to distribute evenly. Remember, soy sauce is salty!
