Directions
blank
- Add all wet ingredients and rice to a rice cooker. Press the button to cook and let it work its magic.
- Sauté your vegetable of choice. I used peppers.
- If your shrimp is raw, steam them until pink and add them to your vegetables once they’re done to your liking. Precooked shrimp can be added to the pan once your veggies are just about ready to heat them up a bit.

- Pulse ginger in a food processor until finely chopped.

- Season with salt and pepper.
