Spicy Shrimp Stir Fry with Jasmine Rice

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.

  7. Add teriyaki sauce.
  8. Add peas and shrimp with seasoning; saute 4 minutes or until shrimp are pink (opaque).

Notes
  1. I like to use Jasmine rice but you may use white rice or any other kind of rice you desire.
  2. 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.
  3. Find a good brand of jasmine rice, from Thailand if possible (I use Golden Phoenix).
  4. Rinse the rice once, moving your fingers through the rice, until the water runs pure without any milkiness. Drain.
  5. 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.
