Today we discovered that someone had stolen our little "pond" boat and dealing with photographs and the Sheriff ran me right past dinnertime. Fortunately my freezer generally holds things that are quick to fix.
Tonight I put some frozen shrimp in a bowl of water to thaw while I thawed 2 frozen servings of rice in the microwave and buttered some French bread for the broiler. Putting it all together is so simple. Butter in a skillet with some garlic. When it's good and hot, the drained, and patted dry shrimp was added. I put the thawed rice in a bowl with some chopped green onions (also frozen) and put the bowl, covered, in the microwave for 1 minute. Added 1/2 cup white wine to the shrimp skillet and when it began to boil, removed the shrimp and left the wine, butter and garlic mixture to reduce. Toasted the bread. Served the rice. Added a couple handfuls of sugar snap peas to the reduction and returned the shrimp to the skillet just before serving. 5 minutes - beginning to end and it was delicious!
