Instructions
In just 15 minutes, enjoy the flavorful taste of fluffy Minute® Instant Premium Rice combined with cooked shrimp, toasted pecans and chopped green onions all drizzled with teriyaki dressing.
Step 1
Prepare rice according to package directions. Let cool.
Step 2
Mix rice, shrimp, pecans and green onions in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk together teriyaki sauce and oil in a small bowl, until well blended. Add to rice mixture and toss to combine. Serve salad at room temperature, or chilled.
Recipe Notes
To toast nuts, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the nuts in a single layer. Bake at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
If you’re using raw shrimp, marinate them beforehand in a small amount of the teriyaki sauce for added flavor.
For added savory flavor, cook the rice in vegetable or chicken broth, instead of water.
To increase the whole-grain factor, use Minute® Instant Brown Rice.
Want more veggies? Add in matchstick carrots, bean sprouts, coleslaw mix or corn.
