I did like this recipe. As with most of Katie’s recipes, they are veggie packed and good ways to get more into your diet. I like spice, so I added some Sriracha to the final plate, and it was just what it needed.

This is a great recipe! Love the sauce and the ability to customize the vegetables so that everyone gets what they want is perfect. Yesterday’s version used only green beans for mine and corn for his. Both were excellent. We generally make this when there is leftover rice from Chinese take out which cuts down the work a little bit more.

I modified the cooking method because I did not want to bake in the oven and don’t have a grill. I roasted the marinaded shrimp following Ina Gartens recipe. I sautéed the zucchini and snap peas and added the spinach just til it wilted. I boiled the remaining marinade and tossed everything together with the rice. It was good. Next time I will make a bit more rice and mix in all the remaining marinade.

Will use low sodium soy next time. Too salty. Otherwise, delicious.

So good! A great way to eat more vegetables!

Made this tonight. It was great and very easy. I also used brown rice and added pearl onions, bell pepper and fresh corn. You could easily do any veggie mix that fits your taste. Great recipe, especially for a weeknight meal.

Loved it! I replaced the shrimp with chicken and it was still sooooo good!
James Hall
Lots of great flavor. For the veggies I used green beans, cabbage and zucchini.

Really delicious and easy! The shrimp came out so good. I used veggies I had on hand – asparagus, peas and red cabbage. Also used brown rice. Will def make again!
