Spicy Pepper Shrimp and Rice
Are you looking to make something on the healthier side but that really packs a punch in the flavor category? Don’t have a lot of time to prepare it? Sounds pretty much the story of most of our lives huh? Well, while reading the June 2009 issue of Men’s Health, I came across a quick, easy to prepare, and super healthy spicy pepper shrimp and brown rice recipe that sounded excellent!
Spicy Pepper Shrimp and Rice
Recipe Credit: Men’s Health, June 2009
Ingredients
2 tsp peanut oil
1/4 tsp red-pepper flakes
1 c bite-sized strips of red and green peppers
1/4 medium onion, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp orange juice
2 tbsp jarred jalepeno pepper slices
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
10 ounces (about 30) medium precooked frozen shrimp, defrosted, tails removed
Preparation
Heat the oil and pepper flakes in a medium-hot skillet, and then add all the remaining ingredients except the shrimp. Cook the mixture 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the shrimp and cook 2 to 3 more minutes, stirring frequently. Serve over brown rice.
See, told you, nice and quick (especially if you cook a batch of brown rice at the beginning of the week and use throughout the week in various recipes). If you have some extra time, instead of using precooked frozen shrimp, you could always grill some fresh shrimp (pictured above). 
Enjoy!
