Jasmine Rice Shrimp Scampi

Jasmin Rice Shrimp Scampi is actually one of my all time favorites. It is total comfort food but it is light enough that you don’t feel like a total slug afterwards. The dish has an easy garlic-y buttery taste to the shrimp that will appeal to the comfort food side of you, and the rice and peas will keep it light and almost refreshing so it is an ideal blend. It also takes hardly any time at all, you can be out of the kitchen and sitting down to dinner in about 20 minutes. You’re welcome.
