How to Make Shrimp and Pea Rice Bowl

Download PDF

This could be the poster-child for clean eating. Light seafood and peas with plenty of protein and fiber make a refreshing yet nutritious combo. When cooking the shrimp, you’ll see them turn opaque and pink, but watch closely so they don’t overcook. It can happen real fast! To stave off possible hunger later, make a pot of rice (extra points for brown rice!) and serve your shrimp and veggies over it. Garnish with sliced avocado, and you’re all set to enjoy this beautiful shrimp and pea rice bowl.

8 oz. shrimp, uncooked, peeled and deveined
    (if frozen, run under cool running water about 5 minutes)
3 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup frozen peas (run under water to thaw and drain thoroughly)
1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
