Read MoreRecipe of the Week: 10 Minute Ginger Shrimp and Rice
This is the extremely easy cheating version of a recipe I posted last year. It loses a bit of flavor in the rice, but saves you time. The only thing that bugs me about this recipe is that I can’t find frozen snow peas that are stringless. Do you have a favorite brand? If I…
