And this week’s recipe is my go-to FAST dinner meal! This is SO easy, healthy and the recipe I use whenever we have had a busy afternoon, and I’m in a hurry!
Shrimp Stir-Fry
Yield 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 12 oz. bag medium cooked shrimp
- veggies
- oil (olive, grapeseed or butter)
- spices
- cooked brown rice
Instructions
- Cook your rice (or already have it cooked and waiting!).
- Cut up your veggies while you saute your shrimp in 1-2 Tbsp. of oil over med-low heat. (I use whatever veggies I have on hand--usually green or multi-colored peppers, mushrooms, snap peas, carrots, etc., but if I'm REALLY in a hurry, I use a bag of frozen veggies.)
- Add veggies to pan and saute them as well.
- Add any spices you wish. I personally just enjoy the flavors of the fresh veggies and oil. My hubby, however, prefers some kind of seasoning--usually lemon pepper.
- Serve shrimp and veggies over rice!
That’s IT!
I sometimes use chicken instead of shrimp, but then I have to pre-thaw the chicken, so it not quite as fast.
What’s your family eating this week? Do you have a go-to, fast dinner for your family? If so, please share!
