Stir – Fry Shrimps & Veggies with Rice (Laxanika me Garides kai Ryzi)

Written by Published on Updated on May 26, 2019 in Uncategorized

 

Hi everyone, I have been chatting with a few of my blogger friends who still have not yet seen any Spring weather and some have mentioned that in their areas it’s snowing!!! I know in a way how they must be feeling because last year around this time it was raining non stop here.  So, the weather we have been having lately is odd,  but it’s April already so I am sending to all my bloggers friends who are still waiting for Spring  “the Spring Vibes” .  Hope this works!! 🙂 

This recipe is a quick version of stir-fry that can be put together in less than 20 minutes, that’s if you’ve in a rush and would like to make something delicious and yet quickly because you just got back from a busy day at work and are starving. I had already washed and drained the shrimps so that was done a day in advance, but I was missing a few of the veggies and the quality of the fresh produce was not exactly well, let’s just say they just looked strange so I decided to buy frozen veggies.  

To be honest the frozen veggie pack saved me a lot of time in the kitchen because I was out most of the day, and when I got back it would have taken me just about an hour to cut, chop, dice, and fry.  So, in a way a meal in 20 minutes is not half bad. 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
