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.

I scaled this down to 2 servings and used leftover rice. I also added minced garlic. This was easy to make and went well with my dinner of lentil tacos and refried beans. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWt 8.

This is one of those recipes that ends up being more than the sum of it's parts. I used a little extra bacon because I have some that needs using and added some minced garlic with the bacon. It didn't need salt added and was just delicious. It's a keeper and will be added to my Favorites of 2012 cookbook. :D

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.
