"Recipe for Sweet And Sour Shrimp, with Shrimp Fried Rice and Fried Plantains

Shrimp Stir-Fry with Brown Rice

A tangy shrimp stir-fry with pineapple and just a touch of soy sauce !!!

My Note

Ingredients
, Success® Brown Rice.
1 lb fresh or frozen peeled shrimp (Around 17 to 20 per count)
1/2 cup Hawaiian marinade, divided
2 Tbsp of peanut oil
1 pkg (16 oz.) frozen vegetable stir fry mix
1 (8 oz.)Fresh  pineapple chunks, drained (reserving 2 tbsp juice)
1 tsp light soy sauce


Cook This Recipe
Prepare rice according to package directions. While rice is cooking combine shrimp and 1/4 cup marinade in a medium bowl; blend well.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and stir-fry vegetable mix for 1 minute, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Drain shrimp and add to vegetables. Add pineapple, remaining marinade, soy sauce and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice to skillet. Stir-fry until all ingredients are well coated and shrimp is cooked. Serve over rice.

*Or, you can substitute fresh vegetables. Increase stir-fry time to 8-10 minutes until vegetables are crisp yet tender.

I make this often and use three colors of peppers, red, yellow and green, Onions (green or scallions.)Green and Red cabbage, Pea Pods, Water Chestnuts.
I like the taste of fresh Veggies, and I can just put in what I like then.
