Instructions
- Prep 12 oz Large Peeled and Deveined Shrimp Raw 31/40 ($7.99/lb sale) by patting dry. Trim and chop 1 lb Bok Choy ($2.77/lb sale), separating stems from leaves. Slice 8 oz Kroger Sliced White Mushrooms ($2.49). Thinly slice 1 medium Jumbo Yellow Onion ($0.99/lb). Mince 1 tablespoon Fresh Peeled Ginger ($3.99/7 oz) and 2 cloves Garlic ($0.69 each). Slice 2 Green Onions ($1.29 each). Cut 1 Fresh Organic Lime ($1.29 each) into halves.
- Cook 1 cup dry rice from pantry according to package directions so it is ready for serving 2 people.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion, the 1 tablespoon minced ginger, and the 2 minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the 8 oz sliced mushrooms and the bok choy stems. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until the mushrooms soften and the stems begin to turn tender.
- Add the 12 oz shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, tossing often, until just starting to turn pink.
- Pour in 1/4 cup Simple Truth Organic Low Sodium Free Range Chicken Broth ($1.79/32 oz sale) and the juice from 1/2 lime. Add the bok choy leaves and cook 2 to 3 minutes more until the leaves wilt and the shrimp are fully cooked through.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper from pantry. Finish with the sliced 2 green onions and a squeeze from the remaining 1/2 lime.
- Serve the shrimp and vegetables over the cooked rice. Pair with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Riesling.

Health notes: About 480-560 calories per serving, with lean protein from shrimp, plenty of vegetables, and a moderate carb portion from rice. Bok choy and mushrooms add fiber, potassium, and micronutrients while keeping the dish light.
Drink pairing: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Riesling works beautifully here; both handle ginger, lime, and the natural sweetness of shrimp without overpowering the dish.
