Zesty Lime Shrimp and Bell Pepper Rice

How to make it

1. 1

   First things first, get your brown rice cooking! Follow the package directions for one cup of dry rice. It usually takes about 25-30 minutes.

2. 2

   While the rice is doing its thing, peel and devein your shrimp. Then, dice up that beautiful red bell pepper. Squeeze the juice from one of your limes.

3. 3

   Once the rice is nearly done, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil. Toss in the diced bell pepper and cook for about 5 minutes, until it starts to soften.

4. 4

   Now, add the shrimp to the skillet with the bell peppers. Cook for just 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Don't overcook them, they will get rubbery.

   Finally, stir in the cooked brown rice, the freshly squeezed lime juice, and the chopped cilantro. Give it a good mix to combine everything. Taste and add salt and pepper if you like. Slice the remaining lime into wedges for serving. Enjoy your delicious and speedy meal!
