This dish is one of my go-to dinners for meal prepping. It is easy to make and is so delicious! The clean up is also quick since you only use one pan!
Ingredients:
Part One - Shrimp:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound shrimp , raw (peeled and deveined) or cooked
4 garlic cloves , minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Part Two - Rice:
2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup brown rice, uncooked
2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
15 oz black beans rinsed, drained
2 cups snow peas (rinsed) or any vegetable of choice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped + extra
*Recommended to top dish with avocado
Instructions:
1. Heat large skillet until hot on medium heat. Add olive oil - it should run easily but not sizzle or burn. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly.
2. Add shrimp, making sure it doesn't crowd, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes over shrimp. If using raw shrimp, cook, stirring once or twice, on medium heat, about 3-4 minutes total, until pink in color. If using cooked shrimp, only cook for about 2 minutes total.
3. Remove shrimp from the skillet to a bowl and set aside.
4. Sauté snow peas or other vegetable in (now empty) skillet for 3-4 minutes on medium high heat with just a drizzle of oil. Remove from pan.
5. To the same (now empty) skillet, add chicken broth and uncooked rice. Bring to boil. Mix everything well. Reduce the heat to low boil simmer. Cover the skillet with the lid. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, covered, until the rice is cooked through. You might need to add 1/2 cup of water if your rice is not completely cooked through.
6. Mix in the lime juice, rinsed and drained black beans, and fresh cilantro into the cooked rice.
7. Add extra chopped fresh cilantro to the plate with shrimp, mix to coat shrimp with lime juice and cilantro. Add the shrimp to the skillet with rice and gently reheat.
8. Top with some avocado and enjoy!
