Ingredients:

1 cup rice or quinoa

2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into 2 inch pieces

1 pint cherry tomatoes cut in half

1 pound large shrimp, cleaned and cooked (I bought frozen)

1 teaspoon Asian(toasted) sesame oil

 

Preparation:

In a skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden, about 4 minutes.

Transfer to a small bowl.

 

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, rice vinegar and ginger. Set aside.

 

In the same skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

 Add the asparagus and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and cook 2 minutes.

Stir the soy sauce mixture and shrimp into the asparagus mixture.

Cook to heat through. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in sesame oil.

 

To serve, spoon the rice or quinoa onto dinner plates, top with the shrimp mixture

and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

 

Serving size: Makes 4 servings
