I love a new recipe and EatingWell.com is one of my favorite websites to find something healthy to make. This is a quick, weeknight meal, that you can prep the veggies and protein for in advance. I used shrimp, but tofu, ground chicken, or thinly sliced steak, would all be great too. Hope you enjoy!
