You-Name-It Stir Fry (faster version)

This is the microwave version.  More to come on the “fast” (i.e. oven roasted) alternative as well as other possible versions of this template recipe.

INGREDIENTS

• 12 oz bag medium or large frozen shrimp
• 2 cups jasmine rice
• 9 oz box Green Giant Simply Steam® Asparagus Cuts
• 3/4 cup Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki
• PAM Original

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare rice.  Mix one cup of rice with 1-3/4 cup of water, and add a dash of salt.  Cover.
2. Microwave for 5 minutes at 100% power, immediately followed by 10 minutes on 50% power.  Let stand in microwave for 5 minutes, then remove, take off cover and fluff.
3. Cook asparagus according to package instructions, then drain.
4. While rice is cooking, dump the shrimp in some cold water to thaw.
5. After shrimp have thawed, drain, remove tails, finish deveining* (if needed), and pat dry with a paper towel.
6. Preheat pan to medium/medium high.  Once preheated, spray with PAM.
7. Dump the shrimp in the pan and cook, flipping ’em around with a spatula, for 2-3 minutes.
8. Throw the asparagus on top, then the rice.  Pour the Veri Veri Teriyaki over the mountain of goodness in your saucepan and toss it all around until thoroughly mixed.

* Anyone wondering what the black “vein” running up the back of a shrimp is?  Or… exactly why you devein it?  This is why.
