How to Make Thai Shrimp And Fresh Vegetable Rice

  1. Thaw shrimp completely if frozen.
  2. Rinse shrimp under cold water and pat thoroughly dry.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp with the marinade (see below).
  4. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While shrimp marinates, prepare the vegetables: trim asparagus and slice bell peppers into strips.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add marinated shrimp to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Remove from wok and set aside.
  8. Add asparagus and bell pepper strips to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until crisp-tender.
  9. Pour the reserved marinade into the wok and bring to a simmer.
  10. Stir in 2 cups of cooked rice and 1/4 cup roasted peanuts.
  11. Heat through, combining all ingredients.
  12. To serve, spoon the rice mixture into bowls. Top with the cooked shrimp and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
  13. Enjoy! (Adjust jalapeño quantity to control spice level)
  14. **Marinade:** In a small bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1-2 finely minced jalapeño peppers (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
