Crazy Easy Dinner
IntoFit | September 16th, 2008 | Recipes and Meal Ideas | 2 Comments »
I keep a lot of staples in my house. Two of the many things I always have in my freezer are: a bag of shrimp and a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables. I guess I figure – if I have easy access to healthy stuff, and I have quick and easy ways to prepare them- I can sometimes talk myself out of ordering-in. Sometimes not. But 80% of the time is better than 30%. Here is what I whipped up the other night when I did not feel like cooking at all. Took me 5 minutes. (Plus of course the time to cook the rice – which, I have to admit, I bought pre cooked.)
Peanut Butter Goodness - Serves 4
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 1/4 cups stock
- Cook rice as directed but instead of water use vegetable or chicken stock.
- 1 bag frozen raw shrimp, thawed and shelled.
- 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Bag frozen vegetables
- Whatever other veggies you have in the house, if you have any at all! (peppers, onions, celery..)
- Pepper to taste
1. Dump shrimp and veggies in a pan on medium/high heat.
2. Once they are cooked, add peanut butter and soy. Season with pepper.
3. Mix well allowing P.B to melt.
4. Serve over 1/2 cup brown rice.

Yummmy…this sounds delicious!! Staples are a great idea, and since training with you Jessica, I now understand that bbq baked potato chips aren’t one of them…strange, but true.
My staples also include tomato sauce and some veggie ground round.

Thanks for that , useful stuff. I get bored of plain rice recipes but i’m not exactly very good at cooking. There’s a lot of easy ideas at this rice recipe site I found that you might find useful too.
