Kid Made Shrimp and Rice
This recipe only calls for a few ingredients and it's a great recipe to get the kids involved in.
- 1 package Uncle Ben's Jasmine Rice (you can use any Rice)
- 1 green onion, chopped
- ½ cup grapes, chopped
- 1 orange, peeled and segmented
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 1 cup water
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoon tropical fruit juice (we used mango, but pineapple or orange would substitute well)
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, optional
- Salt and pepper, to taste, optional
Start by placing the frozen peas and water in a microwave-friendly dish and heat for two minutes. Let stand before removing from the microwave and carefully draining.
Next, make your rice. Read the directions on the back of your package of Uncle Ben's Jasmine rice or your favorite microwavable rice. Ours encouraged us to break up the rice before opening the top and placing it in the microwave for 2 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, have your child chop the grapes, oranges, and green onions. You can also chop them together. We placed all of the chopped fruit and vegetables in a large bowl and added in the cooked peas.
Once the rice is ready and slightly cooled, go ahead and pour it into the bowl with the fruits and vegetables and gave it a good stir.
It looks good and healthy already.
Add the soy sauce and mango juice in a 1:2 ratio for a delicious dressing. You could also add salt and pepper, but we try to avoid that with the kids.
Spoon the rice mixture out into individual servings and then add the shrimp, if desired.
If your child prefers the rice without the shrimp that is fine too. This fruity rice makes kids happy and tastes delicious.

PIN HEALTHY SHRIMP AND RICE TO SAVE
A lot of kids might not want to try seafood but, shrimp is full of protein, low in fat, fast-cooking, and very mildtasting. And if they don't want the shrimp that's more for you to enjoy.
