• Mix rice, shrimp, pecans and green onions in a large bowl. Step 3
• Whisk together teriyaki sauce and oil in a small bowl, until well blended. Add to rice mixture and toss to combine. Serve salad at room temperature, or chilled. Recipe Notes To toast nuts, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the nuts in a single layer. Bake at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted. If you're using raw shrimp, marinate them beforehand in a small amount of the teriyaki sauce for added flavor. For added savory flavor, cook the rice in vegetable or chicken broth, instead of water. To increase the whole-grain factor, use Minute® Instant Brown Rice. Want more veggies? Add in matchstick carrots, bean sprouts, coleslaw mix or corn.

ASIAN RICE SALAD WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Whisk the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar in a large bowl. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the dressing to a medium bowl, add the shrimp and toss. Add the carrot, celery and snow peas to the remaining dressing and toss.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat and add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until they turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes, then transfer to the bowl with the vegetables. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons water to the skillet and scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon, then add the liquid to the bowl with the shrimp. Let the skillet reheat, then add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and stir-fry the rice until toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
