This is a great simple recipe for those days when you want something quick and good. I used orzo in place of the rice and scaled the recipe down for one serving. Thanks. Made for ZWT7~ Dinner & A Movie ~Part Two.

Quick (especially if you have cooked rice in the fridge, which I did), easy and versatile, what a lovely dish, ideal for a midweek supper. I cut down on the peas, added in some frozen corn, and chopped up 2 skinned fresh tomatoes and tossed them in, just adding some extra colour and vegetables! Much enjoyed, thank you Leslie!

This is a delicious, quick meal. I skipped the oil and used 4 green onions. I also used 12 oz of shrimp since that was the size of the package. Made for Best of 2010 Tag Game.
