Cilantro Shrimp

By Kplmrm

Cilantro lends a pleasant grassy edge to a simple shrimp dish. Look for sambal oelek in the Asian section of supermarkets or specialty stores, or substitute hot sauce. Serve with steamed bok choy or sugar snap peas.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup shrimp mixture and 3/4 cup rice)
