-Stir Fry & Rice- easy weeknight dinner!

Another one of those healthy recipes. This one is for that busy weeknight and a family of 3 on a school night. I’ve been proctoring SAT’s and the last thing I want to do is come home and COOK. This is a quick and easy recipe, even if you don’t have a rice cooker!

🥕Ingredients🥬

• 2-bags of stir fry… $5.00 each. We get ours from King Soopers

• 2 10 oz bags of thawed, defined, peeled, tail off shrimp… $5.00 each. Again, King Soopers.

• 1 cup Jasmine rice 🍚. We use a rice cooker but water on the stove will do just as well. Please be sure to rinse your rice

Directions:

1. Cook your rice however you see fit. We pop that cup in with 2 cups of water and let it cook in the rice cooker. No stirring necessary for us! Without any butter this is just about 75 calories alone

2. While rice is cooking, make sure your shrimp are thoroughly rinsed and dried before placing them in an avacado oiled pan. Your shrimp should be placed into a hot pan to give them that first zap of heat before the vegetables. The shrimp on your bowl is about another 125 calories.

3. Slowly add in your stir fry packages to shrimp pan. This will need to be stored and cooked down until you fit all two bags of stir fry mix in the pan. About 8 - 10 minutes of cooking down the vegetables, they are ready to have the sauce added from the stir fry mix package. We only add in 1 and a half of sauce packages recently. Simmer just a few moments longer or until all vegetables are at desired tenderness. The stirfry mix bring us to another 100 calories.

Season with 🧂 and pepper as desired

This meal is only about 300 calories and is filled with vitamins and nutrients. If you’re feeling super hungry, add a third bag in there and another half cup of rice. 🥢 eat up! ⬆️ #stirfryrecipes #healthydinner #newrecipe #busyweeklifemeal #familymeals
