This is a very easy weeknight meal that will put smiles on everyone's faces. the best part is the 20 minute simmer time. You'd be amazed at how much you can get done in your kitchen in 20 minutes!

 

You will need:

4 Tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 onion, chopped
3 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
fresh oregano, chopped
1 package Sazon seasoning
1 8-oz can GOYA tomato sauce
3 - 4 Tablespoons medium Pace chunky Salsa

2 cups rice
2 cups water

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

In large skillet, heat olive oil and saute garlic, bell pepper and onion for a few minutes. Add cilantro, oregano, seasoning, tomato sauce, and salsa. Bring to a boil. Add in rice and water. Bring back to boil, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Arrange shrimp on top, cover, and turn heat off. Let stand until shrimp are cooked throughout.

I am Brenda Shoop and I am Aunt Bytes' very own resident nurse. I hold a bachelors in nursing from The University of South Alabama. I worked in health care for 20 years before "abandoning the ship." I have experience in emergency, trauma, pediatrics, internal medicine, cardiology, and holistic care. I am striving to learn as much as I can about how to treat the body so it can heal itself, in the most natural ways possible.

I am connected to The Great Universal Energy Source in the most wonderful and magical way. I see miracles every single day because I have learned how to change my perspective on life in general. We are all connected to the Same Source, and as we become enlightened, we change the course of events around us to reflect our deeper commitment, whether that commitment is to Love, Peace, Mercy, Greed, Lust, or Selfishness.

What I'm trying to say is that whatever drama is going on around you in your life right now is just a symptom of something you still need to deal with. If you change your patterns, the patterns of those around you will change as well. Much in the same way that if the Earth were to shift position, it would affect all the satellites around it, as well as the moon.

So, don't be afraid to shift positions now and again. Just try a new one on for size and see how it fits. You can always change your mind later, you know.
