Shrimp Un-Fried Rice

We’re just a few weeks into the beginning of the year and I’ve got healthy meals on top of my mind (not a surprise, since that’s generally where my culinary thought process revolves). I’ve been trying to focus on lean proteins, nutritious carbohydrates and of course tons of veggies when feeding our family.

Kenya is a big time brown rice lover, so we keep a bowl of it in the fridge at all times. I figure that if I keep a few cooked foods on hand at all times then I’ve got a meal minutes away on those busy nights. One of my favorite convenience foods are frozen wile shrimp from Trader Joe’s. I just run water over them to defrost and voila, within minutes I can sauté up this delectable dish of Shrimp Un-Fried Rice. With just a few other staple ingredients on hand like eggs, soy sauce, frozen edamame and sesame seeds I can transform Kenya’s beloved brown rice into a dish that has more then just a little pizzaz.

I call this Un-Fried rice because unlike most Chinese food restaurants that drench their fried rice in tons of oil, this recipe uses the bare minimum to add plenty of flavor, but keeps it lean and mean, but also totally simple and delicious.
