Ingredients
1 cup brown long grain rice (cook in 2-1/4 c water)1 tsp sesame oil - spread in large non stick saute pan1 pound carrots - baby carrots ready to use, or whole, peeled and sliced1 large onion halved and sliced thin1 large green pepper cut in 1/2" dice2 TBSP La Choy Orange Ginger Stir Fry sauce/marinade1 TBSP La Choy lite Soy SauceI orange zested 1 orange juiced1 Pound cooked frozen unseasoned shrimp 41-60 count1 TBSP La Choy Orange Ginger Sauce1 TBSP orange juice
Directions
Bring 2-1/4 c unsalted water to boil, add rice, reduce heat to simmer, and set cook about 40 minutes, until water is absorbed.
Spread 1 tsp sesame oil in large sauce pan and heat to medium high. Add all carrots, put lid on. Allow to saute while you cut onions and peppers. Shake saute pan occasionally so carrots do not burn. They will make enough steam. Add onions and peppers, add 2 TBSP of La Choy Orange Ginger Stir Fry sauce/ marinade and 1 TBSP Lite Soy Sauce. Return lid and reduce heat to simmer. Let cook about 25 minutes. Thaw shrimp under running water about 7 minutes and allow to drain well. When onions and peppers are cooked and carrots are still firm, add zest of one orange and most of the juice to the veggies, remove from heat. Rice should be done, remove from heat. In a separate saute pan, heat to medium high, add shrimp, 1 TBSP of La Choy Orange Ginger Sauce and 1 TBSP orange juice. Cook stirring occasionally until shrimp are transparent and starting to turn golden. Using a wooden or nylon turner, push shrimp out of pan onto veggies, being sure to scrape out any glaze from the shrimp pan. Serve 1/4 of rice, 1/4 of shrimp and 1/4 of vegetables to each person.

Serving Size: Serves 4. About 1/2 c rice, and about 14 shrimp and 1/4 of all the vegetables
