Jalapeño Shrimp

This is one of my favorite recipes! Its a great meal to make on a Friday night that is quick and easy. It takes longer to cook the rice than to make the shrimp, so start cooking the rice about 10 minutes before hand. You can peel the shrimp once you start the rice to take up the time.

1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
4 seeded and deveined sliced fresh jalapeños
6 cloves diced garlic
1/4 cup lite soy sauce
Olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
4 green onions - separate sliced bottom white parts from the green sliced tops

Melt butter with olive oil in a saute pan. Add garlic and white portions of green onions and cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Add jalapeños and cook for approximately 2 minutes stirring constantly so that the garlic doesn't burn. Add shrimp and soy sauce and cook until shrimp is pink and done. Remove from heat and top with green onions.

Server with brown rice (preferred) or white rice.
