Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup minute rice or regular rice or 2 cups previously cooked.
  • olive oil
  • 3 cups broccoli florets If your broccoli is frozen just microwave them for a minute
  • salt and pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1/2 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lemon
  • soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • If your shrimp is frozen put them in a bowl of water and they will be ready when it's time to add them to the skillet. If you don't have any leftover rice in the fridge put a pot of water on and add the salt. I use "minute rice" for a quick meal like this one but regular rice works fine just give it about a 10 minute head start. Put a skillet on at medium high and eyeball enough olive oil to coat the bottom about 1/8" deep. Chop up the garlic and cut the larger broccoli florets in half through the stems. If your broccoli is frozen just microwave them for a minute.
  • Put the broccoli in the pan and salt and pepper it. Toss a few times as they cook. When the water boils add the rice. Let it come back to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and put a lid on it. When the broccoli starts to singe on the edges - about 3-4 minutes -add the garlic. Squeeze some lemon juice on the garlic and toss it all together.
  • Toss a few more times as the garlic cooks a little. Just about 1 minute. Push the broccoli and garlic to the outside of the pan and lay the shrimp out flat on the bottom the skillet. Cook the shrimp just about 1 - 1 1/2 minutes each side. When they are pink on the outside and white in the middle the are done.
  • The rice should be done by now so add it to the skillet. Toss or stir to get it all mixed together. If the rice isn't done yet just lower the heat on the skillet to medium low and toss occasionally 'til the rice catches up.
  • Serve it up with some soy sauce topping it off and enjoy your Shrimp Broccoli Stir Fried Rice. Now wasn't that easy?
