Directions
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, then coat with cooking spray. Add the peppers, onions, and spices, and cook for five minutes, until the vegetables have started to brown.
Add the tomatoes and beans, stir to combine, and cook until the tomatoes start to simmer, about two minutes.
Add the rice, kale, and shrimp, cooking until the kale is wilted and the shrimp is just heated through, about three minutes.
Serve immediately, with hot sauce and green onions if desired (not included in nutrition info).

    This is great since I've given up beef and pork, I am getting sick of chicken. Thanks for posting - 2/12/13

    Glad I found this just at the beginning of Lent - I'm putting it on our menu plan for meatless Fridays. I'll probably saute fresh peppers and onions and the addition of the kale make it seem very unusual - 2/12/13

    This is a great "Quick" meal. I usually make a similar recipe from scratch, but this is wonderful when in a hurry. - 2/3/13

    sounds good but I don't like Kale so I will have to leave that out when I try it - 2/3/13

    Can not comment on your recipe but I've made something like this for years, I always use fresh veggies and my family always loved it. - 2/3/13
