Easy Healthy Shrimp Dish


A quick and healthy dish you're sure to enjoy, features fresh orange zest and green onions.


One tbsp. olive oil

1 pound uncooked, peeled and deveined shrimp

4 green onions, sliced

1 fresh Serrano or jalapeno pepper

1 tsp. grated orange peel

1 tsp. fresh or dried thyme

2 cups diced tomatoes, drained


Directions:

In a 12" skillet or wok, saute over medium heat: olive oil, shrimp, green onions, pepper, orange peel and thyme for about one minute. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer on low for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.


You may choose to serve this over freshly cooked rice. Boil n' bags are a great choice, but the regular way is just as fast and saves money. Bring 2 cups of water, lightly salted, to a hard boil, add 1 cup of long grain rice, reduce heat to low, cover tightly and leave until all moisture is absorbed and your rice is nice and fluffy.


Serve with lots of unsweetened iced tea(sun tea) and lemon, greens with "house" vinaigrette and bread sticks!
