Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen fully cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 4 cups diced zucchini (about 2 medium)
  • 1 garlic clove, grated (I use a microplane)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups short grain brown rice

Instructions

  • Prepare the rice according to package directions.
  • Thaw the shrimp according to the package directions.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to warm. Add the zucchini and toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes or until starting to soften.
  • Add the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.
  • Stir together the garlic, ginger powder, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir into the zucchini and shrimp.
  • Serve over warm rice.

Notes

  • Use reduced sodium-soy sauce to keep the sodium levels down.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make this gluten-free.
  • Trade in maple syrup instead of honey if desired or if you'll be sharing with kids under 12 months.
  • Dice the foods smaller for younger toddlers to easily eat.
  • Serve with rice, quinoa, couscous, rice noodles, or spaghetti.
  • Top with crushed peanuts and a squeeze of lime juice.
  • Parents may want to top their servings with hot sauce.
