And this week's recipe is my go-to FAST dinner meal! This is SO easy, healthy and the recipe I use whenever we have had a busy afternoon, and I'm in a hurry!

Shrimp Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

1 12 oz. bag medium cooked shrimp
veggies
oil (olive, grapeseed or butter)
spices
cooked brown rice

Cook your rice (or already have it cooked and waiting!).
Cut up your veggies while you saute your shrimp in 1-2 Tbsp. of oil over med-low heat. (I use whatever veggies I have on hand--usually green or multi-colored peppers, mushrooms, snap peas, carrots, etc., but if I'm REALLY in a hurry, I use a bag of frozen veggies. That's what I'm doing TONIGHT!)
Add veggies to pan and saute them as well.
Add any spices you wish. I personally just enjoy the flavors of the fresh veggies and oil. My hubby, however, prefers some kind of seasoning--usually lemon pepper.

Serve shrimp and veggies over rice! Serves 4.

That's IT!

I sometimes use chicken instead of shrimp, but then I have to pre-thaw the chicken, so it not quite as fast.

What's your family eating this week? Do you have a go-to, fast dinner for your family? If so, please share!
