Instructions

1 Cook the rice by: Bringing 2 cup of water to boil in a small sauce pot. Once the
water is boiling, add the rice, cover with a lid, and turn heat down to low.
Simmer for 20 minutes then remove from heat. Keep covered for an additional 10
minutes.
2 While the rice is cooking work on marinating your shrimp. Add the uncooked,
peeled and deveined shrimp to a large bowl. Add juice from half the lemon, 2
tbsp of the basil pesto, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the shrimp until
evenly covered, then place the bowl of shrimp into the fridge to rest for about
10-15 minutes.
3 While the shrimp is marinating and the rice is cooking prep your veggies:
chopping your asparagus, trimming your snow peas, slicing your red
onions/peppers/scallions, and dicing your garlic.
4 After the rice has been cooking for 15 minutes, heat a large saute pan to medium
heat. Once the pan is hot add your shrimp to the pan. Spread your shrimp out
evenly along the bottom of the pan. Allow to cook for 4 minutes.
5 After 4 minutes, toss the shrimp, add the garlic and red onions to the pan with
the additional 2 tbsp of pesto and ¼ cup water. Stir everything together and
cook for 2 minutes stirring often.
6 Now add your asparagus, snow peas, and serrano pepper to the pan. Toss
everything together and cook for 2 minutes. Then toss everything again and cover
and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Covering allows the asparagus and peas to cook faster and prevents the sauce
from evaporating.
7 By now your rice should be done. Add the sliced scallion and a little black
pepper to the rice, stir with a fork to fluff.
8 Plate your rice, then top with your shrimp, snow peas, and asparagus mixture.
Then sprinkle a little white sesame seed and garnish with your matchstick
radish.
