I really like this recipe for shrimp stir fry, and it is very easy to make.
I started using Jasmine rice because I really like the nutty flavor. Of course you may substitute white rice or even brown rice, but I personally prefer the Jasmine rice.
I hope you like this recipe too.

Notes
- I like to use Jasmine rice but you may use white rice or any other kind of rice you desire.
- Jasmine rice, sometimes known as Thai fragrant rice, is a long-grain variety of rice that has a nutty aroma and a subtle flavor. Jasmine rice is originally from Thailand.
- Find a good brand of jasmine rice, from Thailand if possible (I use Golden Phoenix).
- Rinse the rice once, moving your fingers through the rice, until the water runs pure without any milkiness. Drain.
- After the rice has cooked....remove the rice from the heat and allow to sit, still covered, for at least 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

I like anything that has a bit of crunch to it. This sounds great, Kari.
