Ingredients
  

  • ½ pound frozen, cooked shrimp
  • ½ cup chopped carrot
  • ½ a medium tomato diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • ½ cup frozen bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 3 cups cooked rice any type

For sauce:

  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon all-natural peanut butter
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Chop the carrots, onions, and tomatoes.
  • In a pan heat up the oil on medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until translucent.
  • Add carrots into pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add in onions, bell peppers and tomatoes. Put in a splash of water, about 2 tablespoons.
  • Cover with the lid and allow to steam cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
  • While vegetables cook, prepare shrimp by removing tails. Prepare sauce by mixing all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Once the vegetables cook, take off lid and add in shrimp.
  • Add in sesame oil and 1 tablespoon soy sauce and on high heat mix thoroughly to incorporate oil and soy sauce and to cook out excess water. Cook for about 5 minutes, until dry.
  • Add in rice, gently toss in vegetable shrimp mixture and then pour in sauce.
  • Allow rice to cook on medium or medium-low heat for a few minutes until sauce has thoroughly coated everything and the flavors have been incorporated completely. Now it's done.
  • Enjoy!
