Sesame Shrimp Stir-Fry

Submitted by AmyZoe

"Yesterday's recipe was so delicious I had to find another version to satisfy the craving. Quick and easy and hits the spot. Recipe courtesy of Family Circle All-Time Favorite Recipes. I made brown rice in my rice cooker instead of messing with precooked rice. The rice cooker makes perfect rice every time. I did substitute frozen green beans for the sugar snap peas, and I still really enjoyed it."
