Last night I made probably the best meal ever: Orzo, edamame and shrimp saute! And I used up a ton of the stuff from the box. I got the recipe from the newspaper and I will share it with you at the end of this.
It made a TON of food as you can see, so I will be eating this for the rest of the week. This was one of the best recipes I have experimented with and I'm sure will be one to stay in my repertoire. Here is the recipe, I highly recommend you try!
2 cups orzo
4 tbsp sesame oil
1 lb shelled and deveined medium shrimp
4 green onions, finely chopped (I used spring onions from the box and it tasted good)
10 ounces (2 cups) frozen shelled edamame
1 cup loosely packed chopped cilantro
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 - 4 tsp freshly grated, peeled ginger root
Cook orzo as directed on the box, drain and set aside.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and onions and toss until shrimp turn pink (about 2 minutes). Add edamame, cooked orzo and cilantro and toss until edamame are warmed through. Add soy sauce. Remove pan from heat, add ginger and mix well. Orzo should be creamy.
I had a huge bag of frozen edamame in the shells already, so I just cooked those as directed and then added them and didn't have to toss as long since they were already cooked. But the de-shelling process took forever so I recommend you buy them out of the shell if you have the choice.
Hopefully this will be the first of many good recipe experiments, and I will keep y'all posted on the veggie box!
