Zesty Citrus Twist: Add a splash of lemon or lime juice for a refreshing, tangy flavor.
Creamy Avocado Delight: Top with creamy avocado slices for added richness and healthy fats.
Sizzling Teriyaki: Swap the soy sauce for teriyaki sauce for a touch of sweetness and an Asian flair.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Advice: You can prepare your mixed vegetables and even your shrimp ahead of time for a faster dinner on busy evenings.
Leftover Magic: Store any leftovers in an airtight container; they last up to 3 days in the fridge.
Perfect Rice: For the best texture, use day-old cooked rice, as it’s drier and prevents clumping in the pan.
Garlic Slicing Trick: To easily mince garlic, press down on the clove with the flat side of a knife to release the skin, making it much easier to peel!
