Thai Shrimp And Fresh Vegetable Rice

• 1 lb fresh shrimp (medium size) or 1 lb frozen shrimp, peeled & deveined (medium size)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (not the bottled stuff, please!)
• 4 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce (we use low-sodium Tamari)
• 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped* (less if you choose)
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 lb asparagus spear, bias-sliced into 1-inch pieces
• 1 small sweet red pepper, cut into thin bite-size strips
• 3 cups hot cooked rice
• 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
• chopped fresh flat leaf parsley, for garnish

1. Thaw shrimp, if frozen.
2. Rinse shrimp; pat dry.
3. Place shrimp in medium bowl.
4. For marinade, combine lime juice, soy sauce, jalapeno pepper, ginger, and garlic.
5. Pour over shrimp; toss to coat.
6. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Drain shrimp well, reserving marinade.
8. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. (Add more oil if necessary during cooking.)
9. Stir-fry shrimp in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.
10. Remove from wok; cover and keep warm.
11. Add asparagus and pepper strips to wok; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.
12. Add reserved marinade to wok and bring just to boiling.
13. Stir in cooked rice and peanuts.
14. To serve, transfer rice mixture to individual bowls, dinner plates, or for a neat idea, Chinese take-out containers.
15. Spoon shrimp on top with a sprinkling of parsley.
16. Enjoy!
17. *Because chili peppers, such as jalapenos, contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible.
