Ginger Shrimp with Brown Rice Bowl
My wife discovered this recipe for ginger shrimp in Chatelaine magazine and it's
great. The most impressive part of it is the bright contrasts in
colors when it is served up.
The original version of this recipe which I saw suggests using medium shrimp for two servings, but you can choose any size you wish.
